For me Callcentric's call treatments are worth their weight in gold pressed latinum bars. Just this evening, after the third call from a particular number in the last two days, I told my wife, "well, they just earned themselves a call treatment." We will never hear from them again on that number. So cool!
There is something satisfying about slamming the door on unwanted solicitors--especially since so many of them nowadays aren't telemarketers in the old fashioned sense, they're criminals looking to scam you.
Blocking a single number worked for me a year ago. Now, the scammers have upped their game, spoofing new local calls every two days or so--to me at least. I may be a special case, because I used to mess with them constantly, wasting as much of their time as I could before letting them know the joke was on them. I think we're on every call list there is.
I do look forward to using the call treatments, though I'm not thrilled about getting billed for each scammer that gets blocked, as we're on the pay per minute plan. It takes what, a fraction of a second to block a call, but they bill for a full minute. Getting billed for a call (from a criminal no less) that never gets connected is gonna take some getting used to. Sometimes we get 30 crap calls in a day. We may have to give up the number we've had for 30 years to get off the lists and start from scratch.
