Just answer and if it's a telemarketer just say "Hang on a sec" and put the phone down off the hook.
Hang up after 5-10mins, they will get the idea.

The thing is i am too polite that way, i will talk to em when i am dieing to say fuck off!!

although that idea does sound good!!

Gerry,
Get on to Skype as Jester has suggested and get your friends and family back home to do the same. Once you have, hook up your web cam and talk for hours for free. You can also call landlines and mobiles at a great price if you wish to do so. And if you get real excited about it you can have call forwarding so if someone skype calls you then you can have that call directed to a mobile for example.

Not sure if my laptop will support it?? its already really slow plus i dont know anyone who is on it....

You buy skype out credit and then dial a normal number

It runs on a pretty slow computer. You just need broadband to run it well say 256KB should be plenty.

I will look into that then dan cheers my broadband speed is supposed to be 512kb although it seems like half that its pretty slow lol

you wont pull 512 with ur broadband here gerry coz we are a fair distance from the exchange, i have a 8Mb connection and on my best day I still only pull about 6Mb
