I thought that was called 'telemarketing'

Telemarketing == Real person on other end trying to sell you something.

This was an automated computer trying to send me a voicemail.

Oh, I had assumed that was a common practice. I've been experiencing it for years!

YEs, it's a very common practice- at the end of the recorded spiel, there's a "press one on your keypad to speak with someone".

I usually do this and barbeque the poor SOB that answers with my standard "take me off your list, I'm on the do not call list" spiel.

Technically, cell phones are on a different network from "home" phones or landlines, if I remember my laws correctly. So, they should be able to do this to cell phones. I know that some of those things are changing, and well, I just haven't been paying attention.

Technology sucks. :-)

Depending on the definition of "residential telephone line", the legality of these actions varies. I don't think it counts if it's going over IP. Cell phones are different too. There may be another law covering them, but I don't know much about the law in regards to technology, so....

bothunter April 19 2007, 07:10:59 UTC

Cell phones are covered in that law in a.1.iii

That'll teach me to ignore the sections I don't care about...
