I am still getting a number of calls many with unlisted numbers.  I do
have call block for those who don't identify there number but it rings
and I get a brief message (person is supposed to leave name) then option
to accept, reject as telemarketing, or reject as not available.  Many
times I hear the start of their speel (they are mostly recorded no live
person).  I have gotten a few live people who claim to be doing a survey
when I point out that I'm on the do not call list (never had so many
surveys as of late).  I have been adding numbers as they come in and
reporting them to the FCC.  It's one thing when you have a live person
but these recorded messages ahve got to stop.  I can't even dial out for
several minutes on many of them.
