Please do NOT let telemarketing calls to be made to private homes. I have received as many as 23 calls in one day. This is not only disruptive to our day but some of the calls are very nasty when you don't answer them the way they want you to. We pay to have a phone so we can keep in touch with family and friends. In the last seven years we have lost several family members to illness...our phone was very valuable to us at that time, but at the same time we did not need to be "hasseled" by solicitors. If we want someone to call us or be able to call us we hand out our phone numbe to them, this includes our children, other family members and friends. We do not welcome calls from people that we do not know. Please do NOT let these telemarketers call private homes. Too many of our dinners and precious hours at home have been interupted. Thank you for your time.
