Last Monday was the day. I downloaded software that blocked all calls that weren't in my contacts.
I change my number every six months.
My phone rang twice! My wife and daughter
No more 800 numbers, no more robo-calls.
FREEDOM! Dont let anyone associate you with a phone number!
I signed up for the National Do Not Call Registry and the calls decreased dramatically. Now when I get a telemarketing call, I politely explain I'm on the DNCR and they are committing a crime if they continue to contact me. I went 4 months without a call until I just had one last week. But that company hasn't called me again.
I really don't want to switch this number because I still get texts that are meant for the previous chick that owned the number and I love messing with them. A few months ago I got a text from an unknown number asking for Sara's number. I don't know any Sara's, so I told her that "I don't talk to that bitch no more." The ensuing conversation went:
Her: your aunt Sara?
Me: yeah, she's a cunt. She starts shit all the time.
Her: Omg what happened?
Me: she told a bunch of people I'm a lesbian.
Her: I'm so sorry girl. That's messed up.
It really helps bring me entertainment to a boring day.
