IF you have credit or have had credit with a company, they may call you, legally, and are not affected by the no call, since you do/did business with them. You have to actually talk to them and tell them to quit calling, but that only works if you no longer have an account presently.

I do listen to some, if I hear the phone and I'm in the mood to answer it. Especially around voting time, it's a good way to find out last minute issues or moves in the political scheme, rather than listening to the horrendous news media.

I have been called for polling by Gallup and Heritage etc. It's always interesting to be asked my opinion, and to find out (when the poll is published) how the stats turned out. It's supposed to be used by powers that be to know what society wants.

However, I am about to cancel my home phone permanently, so that will end. (No telling how anyone will get into the gated community if they want to see me though )
