I receive an average of 10 telephone solicitors each day (once the same company called 4 times in a single day). If you are in the same predicament, and want it to stop, there's a way now. Register at the following address before the end of August:

You know what seems to work well for me?
Telemarketer (or bill collector): "Yes, Mr. QHead, please."
QHEAD: "He in jail."
Works like a charm.

LOL! I should try that. Unfortunately, since the same company calls repeatedly during the same day, even after I ask them to never call again, I'm not sure that would work.
Normally, I look at the caller ID and don't answer if it's out of the area, but since Mr P is in England, and I never know when he'll call, I have to answer all those annoying telemarketers.
