I’m quite annoyed by the current model of telemarketing. Many consider it even more frustrating than e-mail junk, yet here in Finland, in order to not receive any telemarketing phone calls you have to call certain number every three(?) years. The call costs you somewhat and takes time as well, as the line is often busy (no wonder).

However, I wouldn’t want to be mean with the people who call me; I’d rather direct my anger and frustration towards the telemarketing companies. I mean, it should be possible to tell somebody that you don’t want to receive any TM calls ever, Preferably via internet, to avoid queuing on the phone. I don’t know. But I refuse to call somewhere every three years just to not receive crap.

Update 21.04.2008: A month or so ago I configured my phone to ignore calls from an unknown number. See About page for more.
