Hey cool, I've been toying with getting a
Telezapper... it supposed puts this tone on. I'm wavering on the $50. Hmm. The bit with the answering machine would be interesting to try. Is there a web site that describes what criteria you have to follow to make it consider you disconnected? :)
We seriously considered the call blocking thing... Verizon offers it. The problem is, you have to subscribe to that, and caller ID, which we don't have.. all told, it will take about $12 per month, which we consider too much. I've moved to just screening almost all calls, and leaving the phone off when I don't feel like being bothered. Everybody whom we want to talk to has our cell phone numbers!!
