Scott,

If you have BellSouth service, call BS to have them activate the dynamic
Call Blocking feature on your line. Once active - when you hang up from
a caller you don't want to receive calls from again, pick back up and
hit *70. It will add them to your list of numbers that cannot call you
any more. One caveat - this only works for numbers that come through on
caller ID. If they are listed as "Private" or "Unknown", you won't be
able to eliminate them this way.

Best,
Greg

There are two telemarketers that call my house regularly and either
leave a message or hang up. Their numbers come through caller ID. Anyone
else experience this recently? Who do I contact to smack these people
around and get removed from their list?
