We recently had a persistent telemarketing service ringing our phone every 10-15 minutes for the better part of a week. If only we’d had the CallBlocker. This device intercepts calls before your phone rings and plays the following default message:
“You have reached CallBlocker and not an answering machine. All commercial sales calls and fund raising requests are not accepted, place this number on your do not call list. Personal and invited callers press 5 on your touch phone to proceed.”
Of course, this assumes all telemarketers are ethical and will follow your instructions. Fortunately, you can record your own alternate message, with the appropriate expletives. The CallBlocker is available for £50. (About $95)

I so want to use this, but i can see my wife editing my message. “If this is a marketer I don’t want your fucking Home Loan, Cheap Gimic and I won’t buy now. Fuck You and please take me off your list, all other thanks for calling and please push 5.“
