The service availible in CA from the phone company is called Privacy Manager. I signed up this summer and have not had a single TM call since. I think this is the best feature ever offered by the phone company.

Sometimes (not) I kind of miss the calls. Before I told them to put me on the "no-call" list, I would always try to sell them something first - a car, a bike etc. Anything to keep them on the line longer. Once they know they aren't getting anywhere they will want to hang up and go on to the next call - the money is made in the number of sales or appointments that they make.
