Telemarketers can't call a cell phone, not that they won't try, but when we did have a land line that is what we did. We did not get a lot of telemarketing calls.
I don't enter sweepstakes so it can't be that. Although I have had our local newspaper calling trying to get me, they always want to offer me a "free bonus offer" and I have told them time and time again, that I do not want any solicitation calls so I have stopped answering their calls, but I can see when it is them calling.
We'll see what happens.
....and why can't they call a cell phone?
