Re: pour réduire le nombre d'appels de télémarketi (none / 0)

thanks, but see my response to jerome above.

The march of civilizations is a series of defenses that man has put up against the dread of pure existence.

Answering machine (4.00 / 2)

Okay. I think the best approach, considering the funky numbers and the 'ID MASQUEE', is to have an answering machine where you can hear the caller leaving a message. Pick up the phone if and only if the person leaving a message is someone you wish to speak with.

In my experience, telemarketers hang up the moment they figure out they're talking to a recording.

Re: Answering machine (none / 0)

Probably right. Plus, it's a good excuse excuse to replace the crap telephones that came with the service.
