    Still won't do much good.
    If you've been in the store w/in the past 6 months or sommit like that, they can still call. And there's nothing that says a business can't sell the list of their customers of the past 6 months to telemarketers. = loophole
    Also as long as they're not selling something they can call. So I expect it to change from "Would you be interested in one of our professionals coming out to inspect your home?" to "Would you be interested in one of our professionals coming out for your free introductory inspection?" :rolleyes: :grr:

    Or for us UK folks it's The TPS

    Certainly stops all stupid telemarketers, those who still call I just mention The Telephone Preference Service and they apologize and hang up :D

    I'm not on any opt-out list and have only ever received a few calls in my life. Though one of them was for a conservatory and I live on the 4th floor, should have said I was interested and got someone round for an evaluation. :naughty:

    Just wish there was something like this for spam (well, one that actually does something).
