PLEASE DO NOTALLOW THIS!! We are both disabled and getting up to answer the phone some times involves falling. Since the election we get 2-3 calls each day that hang up when we pick up. They are telemarketers again, even though we are on the DO NOTCALL LIST. Since I can only lay about 4 hours due to pain, I sleep in my chair several times a day. Every time I fall asleep the phone rings, then hangs up before I can get to it or when I answer it. We had 14 calls, some live, most recordings, for Bush. The last one was live and I REALLY TOLD THAT PERSON A LOT OF HORRIBLE THINGS I nornally wouldn't, but I had had it with getting up for nothing. You can't tell a recording not to call like a human!! I called Meijers grocery back twice after listening to the whole recording and said do not call, but they have called 2 more times even though I returned their credit card so I AM NOT A CUSTOMER. I PAY FOR MY PHONE and I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIDE WHO I WANT TO CALL or NOT. I'ts for emergercies mostly and family.
