Please do not allow pre recorded telemarketing!! I am already getting too many of these at home. The problem is there is no way to talk to a live human being to refuse service. It should not be so tedious to refuse telemarketing! If I had my way I would disallow ANY telemarketing by phone into my household. It is an intrusion. The other problem is, these calls take up space on aswering machines, meaning an important family or other phone call may not find room on the machine. I can see an exponential occurance with these as more and more telemarketing databases share information, thus jamming up our already overloaded phone machines. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my opinion. Please do the right thing and disallow pre recorded telemarkting messages.
