I went without a house phone for several years. When the price of my cable and internet went up.. I didn't see the need in paying for 2 cell phones plus a home phone...

When twc gave me a "deal' I signed up for the digital phone..

I'm had my home phone turned on almost a month now.. Almost as instantly as the phone was turned on-and it's the number twc gave me, not a typical area number with a prefix like I'd get from the phone company... The phone started ringing with a 216 number..

The caller ID showed up "Delcom Inc". I went online and did some researching... Come to find out.. It's the plain dealer calling to get you to subscribe to their paper..

I've seen dozens of reports from people saying that no matter what they tell them, even when they are on the "do not call list" this delcom inc refuses to stop calling. They have called me 2-3 times a day since my phone was turned on.

Apparently delcom inc is an advertisement agency.. so I'm assuming the plain dealer must have a contract or something with them.. Pay them to have their workers call people to get them to subscribe.. even when you tell them you already have a subscription, they continue to call...

 

Anyone have any ideas how to stop this?!?!?!

Try blasting them with an airhorn the next time they call.
Just make sure it is really them first. :P

or put them on "hold" for a long time, everytime they call

or get yourself on the "no call" list & then notify them that you are on it the next time they call. if they call again, report them

Or you can tell them you are busy at the moment...But would they mind giving you there home phone number and you will call them as soon as you are finished.

How about this;
You attempt to be polite and realize that sometimes those people can't control the system that is dialing for them. Otherwise take the steps you need to to ensure that your number is removed from the list.
