I registered yesterday in the solicitor no call program announced yesterday. <br /><br />www.donotcall.gov<br /><br />I have, as of yet,received a confirmation e-mail<br /><br />Anyone else have this problem?
Yea I got mine to go through, but no email reply as of yet.<br /><br />It has a place for up to 3 numbers, but I had to do mine one at a time for it to take.<br /><br />Will wait and see.
Luckily, New York started one about two years ago, I think. I signed up for it and it reduced telemarketer calls by about 99%. I really was surprised by how well it worked. Before that, we relied on an answering machine to screen all our calls. Still do, but the phone rings a lot less often now.
I have not signed up for that one yet. Wisconsin started one and I signed up for it. It took effect in January. <br /><br />Before January, 90% of all calls to my phone were telemarketers. Not unusual to have 5 to 6 calling a night. They even started in on Sunday.<br /><br />I have had two since January. Both apologized and one even sent a letter of apology. I highly recommend it.
I only did 1 number.<br /><br />The delay was server overload I'd guess.<br /><br />Think about it...About a billion people calling or e-mailing at the same time?<br /><br />CRASH!<br /><br />Now, do you think the telemarketers will GET A CLUE that the American populus does NOT want to be bothered with their garbage?<br /><br />H.
