I cant block calls

Question

my mother has been recieving harrasing phone calls from a telemarketer and since the account is in my name she wanted me to fix the problem. I told her I would. So I got on the Verizon Wireless website followed all the directions to block the caller and it keeps giving me an error. The telemarketers are getting worse calling every hour or less. They are waisting my minutes and they are extremely rude. If I dont answer they call even more often. I'm already signed up for the national Do No call list but these people dont seem to care. I've tried calling customer service but it just tells me how to use this website to block the caller but again for the last 2 hours I have been getting an error every time I try to block them. These people have been calling since 8am yesterday and havent stopped and now if I answer the phone they just scream at me. What do I do?

Answer 1

Here's how I handle calls from telemarketers on my cell phone. I save them under the contact: Telemarketer! Then, I change the ringtone to: Crickets. That way, whenever they call again, if I hear crickets chirping, I know it's a telemarketer, so no need to bother getting up to answer the calls. Eventually, perhaps they will take me off their list since I never answer. I've got several saved, it's an ongoing process. But now, the telemarketer calls make me smile instead of cringe, because when I hear crickets chirping, I feel like I've outsmarted them. Hope this helps someone else.
