our house is on this, but randomly every few weeks we'll get some cockhead ring us, what we do is ask them what company they are with, thier name, and then we tell them we are on that list. they hang up pretty darn quickly.

My wife an I like to do random shit when they ring. Sometimes, I will answer and if she is around she will suddenly scream real loud, I'll say holy shit and then hang up. Or something similar to the phone conversation in 40 year old virgin. Always a laugh.

I ask what they are wearing. and start breathing heavily into the phone...

- they will say "im sorry but we have to terminate this call" even quicker.

When they as for Mr.??? I always say "Yeah I'll just get him"
then put the phone down and just get on with my life.
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.

Waiting for Mobile IPTel, I know the new Nokia's come out with an inbuilt IP Telephony function, haven't seen it in action though on mobile networks.

Got it roaming mobile IPTel working at work but.
