Tiggum posted:Oh, so you just mean expand it to include people other than telemarketers. Yeah. I don't see why some parties are exempt from the do not call list. I don't want calls from political parties stumping for their candidate, or even my own bank, if it's just to advertise some new service they're offering. It's not really a problem, since call display is so ubiquitous these days that no one answers their phones unless they recognize the number, but still, why even make the call in the first place. Once the boomers are gone, since they're pretty much the last bloc of landline users, I could see telemarketing and other such phone based annoyances start to disappear. No point in making cold calls if literally no one will pick up their phone.

You're going to have to work a lot harder than "I'm annoyed" to get politicians to make it so that politicians and their big donors aren't allowed to robocall you.

Except that every company you've ever dealt with that has your mobile number has sold it over and over again to many many telemarketing, accident solicitor and lots of other companies. So they'll give up calling landlines and call you while you're in the car.

Also my phone blocks phone numbers that aren't already in my directory so they'll just hit voicemail.

So they'll give up calling landlines and call you while you're in the car. That's what I was getting at though. Will they call mobile numbers in greater numbers? Is there anyone under 60 that answers their mobile phone when they don't recognize the number? Every advertiser on the planet could have all the numbers out there, but if there's no one answering their phone, is it still worth it. I saw a surge of advertising calls when I last had to get a new mobile number, but these days those have almost dropped to zero. The only bump I ever see is when there's an election going on, and to be honest my union is WAY worse in making endless robocalls on who I should vote for than the actual political parties. At some point they must be detecting "Okay, this guy literally never answers his phone, so we might as well stop calling and use that time to call rubes who do answer their phone."

Pretty sure they don't. It's all automatic dialling anyway so they just keep trying the number in case it eventually works.

Yeah, I literally never use my landline, I only have it because every Aussie ISP is a phone service provider and makes you take both, and my number is unlisted as well, so the only possible callers are telemarketers. As a result I never pick up and yet they never stop, so can confirm it doesn't faze them.

Astrobastard posted:I use it to find my mobile This is the number one reason I pick my landline up. Also in my last place I had to get a landline to get broadband, within an hour of having it connected we were getting spam calls, despite requesting an unlisted number the provider said it must be random. We complained non stop and they issued us a new number, spam calls within an hour again. Mathematically unlikely to be random or consecutive dialing in my opinion.

I'm guessing by the fact that the kid is just randomly running around in a helmet without a football to be seen that the dog crashtackles him all the time. "Hmmm, $500 for dog training lessons .... or $20 for a helmet? Well I guess I can order a helmet online but I'd have to drive to the park for the dog lessons ..."
