No matter how hard you try, it seems like telemarketers always get your number and a list of times you’d like to relax. Amateur Radio Operator, Andy Carlton, shows us how to beat those pesky telemarketing auto-dialer computers at their own game.
By using the FCC approved, industry standard, disconnected number tone sequence (those three tones you hear when you get a bad number) at the beginning of your voice mail or answering machine message, you can trick the auto-dialer computers into thinking they’ve got a bad number and putting you on THEIR “do not call” list. Andy even provides you with a download of the three tones.
Get the full scoop and the download here.
Of course, if you don’t want to change your message, you can always use the Anti-Telemarketing “Counterscript”.
