That would be very interesting to know.  I disconnected my land line
about six months ago due to high volume of telemarketing calls (caller
ID did not prevent being disturbed by continuous ringing, including
attempts to send faxes at 3 AM) and use only a mobile phone.  So far I
have not received a single telemarketing call, but I am also using my
old disconnected number  forinternet orders, credit cards etc.  I
wonder, however, how long this freedom form telemarketers is going to
last?
