someone just called from this number 10 minutes ago...I called it back and got a generic male automated voice saying "I'm sorry we are not available to take your call, please leave a message after the tone"

This should be made illegal and we, consumers as a group should do sometihng to stop this none-sense. I am fed up and frustrated with the TM calling - and I think that I like the billing system that everytime someone call me, I will get paid for a dollar - I know that it is bad for my friends to call me. Eventually we will win - everybody will win - at least it will make the TM pay for their prank calls - I think that I will be rich just answering these prank calls.

We've been getting calls every night from this number.  I used to work for a telemarketing company way back.  They use a device called a Predictive Dialer (actually a computer) that dials numbers continuously and listens for the click when you answer.  If you don't answer, your number goes back into the database and it keeps calling.  When you answer and there are not enough salespeople working, you get just dead air.There's software and hardware out there that 'zaps' the database by playing the "this number is not in service" sound when they call.  We haven't bought it yet!!

Calling for weeks now.

Last time I answered they said it was for an opinion survey.  Generally I like answering these when I have the time so I asked "What is the topic?"  At which point they hung up on me.

Look, I might answer your stupid poll if it is a topic I'm interested in, but thanks to your guys hanging up on me you just got put in my blocked calls list.  I just went from "somewhat interested" to "peed off."

I left a comment about this number a week ago and it called back again today on Saturday evening.  This is a market research company calling to ask opinion polls.  This was the first time anyone has ever been on the line.
