Come back in 10 - 15 minutes and they have hung up.
Just do this a couple of times and they stop ringing.
Since doing this I havent had a call in months and I'm not on the register.
I think if you get a name as a time waster they put you on their own do not call register.

I did this once and somehow the line didn't disconnect and I could overhear the telemarketer calling other people.Thought it was funny at first, she was getting turned down every single time but felt sorry for the poor chick in the end for having such a shitty job

I've never had any on my mobile but I'd rather register just in case they do start.

Yeh, thought that was a bit wild to not be a hoax.

The prob with the Do not call register is that if your mobile is purely business, then you can't go on the register! I have a tough time every year & have to fill out a questionnaire, declaring that more than 50%(?) of my calls are private just to stay on the register

Heh, I just noticed the terms and conditions of the Mother competition on Jiffy vans at the moment:
