While it’s hard to get people to agree on many issues, few people would argue that they actually enjoy receiving calls from telemarketers. A telemarketing call is something that almost everyone sees as a source of annoyance. This leads many users to explore what options, if any, exist to deal with telemarketers and the nuisance calls they make. Some users even go so drastic as to cancel their home phones in favor of cell phones, while other users rely on caller complaint sites.

Some people may not be aware that cell phones are actually legally immune from telemarketers. Because cell phone users are charged by the minute, telemarketers are not legally allowed to call cell phone numbers. But unfortunately, this is not a positive guarantee that telemarketing numbers can be avoided on cell phone as some telemarketers may make a mistake or may ignore the rules.

In this situation, or if you don’t want or can’t cancel your home phone, you can still deal with telemarketers through caller complaint sites. A caller complaint site is an online social community of users who share facts about unwanted phone calls and the numbers they came from. The massive databases of known phone abusers amassed by caller complaint sites can be used by DIYers to create a directory of no-answer numbers. This innovative strategy can reduce the number of telemarketing calls you answer, no matter what type of phone you use.

And when you report spam calls, those complaints also reach the authorities in charge of telemarketing regulation. Telemarketers can even be fined or sued, if they are found to have broken the law. Clearly, posting complaints is a great way to do something about these spam calls.
