    Naiinis lang ako is more of how these people give away my number so easily to anyone...

    And also as a tactic, COLD CALLS never work. Waste of their time to be honest... It would just irritate people and lower your chances of making a sale...

    If it is a text message from another number from the same telco, then usually it is an independent marketer using brute force text blast - meaning they just send the message to a predefined range of numbers e.g. 0918-111-1111 to 0918-199-9999. If it is from a vanity number, then it is coursed through the telco. AFAIK, all mobile telcos offer cross-marketing programs tailored to specific parameters.

    You cannot assume someone's phone is in silent or or off mode or that said person is not waiting for a very important call only to be bothered by an intrusive and unwanted sales call.

    Different people have different lives. You cannot assume just because you have the luxury of time, others will have also.
    then try to learn to ignore phone calls specially if wala sa directory mo. hinde naman sasabog phone mo kung may tumawag and hinde mo masagot and besides kahit wife /husband mo tumawag and nasa alanganin sitwasyon di wag mo sagutin. cellphones now a days may capabilty sabihin kung sino tumatawag and that will help those people that value every seconds of their time.
    btw. you can use bluetooth so you dont have to retrieve your mobile phone from your briefcase.

    There is always the "reject" button and i believe all phones nowadays have the call divert feature.

    Any call outside of your phone list, do not answer.

    Have these diverted to your voice mbox.

    Sinasabi ko sa ganyan,

    Sorry I'm not interested.

    Ay kakabili palang, alok mo nalang sa iba.

    Di na kailangan sabihan ng 'hindi ko kailangan ng kotse' kasi baka sagutin ka lang bakit ka gumagamit ng kotse

    yah naintindihan ko... pagmatanda nga pala mahirap na makatulog

    It is not just 2 seconds of your life if you have to get up from your dinner table to retrieve your mobile phone in your office/den because your maid happened to hear the phone ring and told you about it.

    bakit? pagtumayo kaba hindi kana matutunawan?

    It is not just 2 seconds of your life if you happen to be driving and have to retrieve your mobile phone from your briefcase and in so doing almost run over a pedestrian because you have to look at your briefcase.

    bawal po magcellphone while driving use a bluetooth or earphone kung wala ka nun.

    You cannot assume someone's phone is in silent or or off mode or that said person is not waiting for a very important call only to be bothered by an intrusive and unwanted sales call.

    kung may hinihintay ka? wala naman mawawala syo dba kung masasagot mo sya? ay meron nga pala your precious time... my precious

    You simply fail to get the point.

    When the phone rings at night and I am awakened by it, it does not matter who is calling. The damage has been done - I am already awake.

    When I get up from my dinner table to retrieve my phone, it does not matter who is calling. My dinner has been interrupted.

    As for bluetooth - it has been proven to be detrimental to one's health. Hence I have given away my sets.

    Obviously our line of work differs significantly for you to assume professionals in certain fields no longer carry briefcases.

    Once again you are assuming I carry only one mobile phone to fit in my pants' pocket.

    The problem with you is in your arrogance out of your ignorance is that you assume too much.

    Earlier you assumed that people who are annoyed by cold calls are automatically arrogant. You assumed that we all have the same stature in life, that we all live the same lives. Of course, this is ridiculous. You might enjoy answering cold calls. It might even be the highlight of your day. But rest assured, a significant number of people do not think that way.

    I just realized, judging from the replies in this thread, that there are possibly quite a few cold call marketers here in tsikot. : )

    In my case diverting calls to my voice mailbox would not be practical as I travel a lot and may incur hefty roaming charges as I once did. Also, I receive a lot of overseas calls as well. Getting a voice mailbox answer annoys a lot of the callers since they end up paying for a wasted international call. For various reasons, most of my callers prefer not to leave messages.

    Admittedly, my VoIP line has significantly reduced international communications costs but I have not found a satisfying mobile VoIP solution. Skype on my mobile phone helps a bit but is not that spontaneous to be straightforward in usage.

    Once again your arrogance borne out of your ignorance shows through.

    You are assuming just because I have the time to browse and post in this forum, I am idle.

    For all you know, I am just waiting for my next meeting...

    Or waiting for an algorithm to finish compiling in another computer...

    Or having my breakfast right now and am just multi-tasking...

    Or simply looking for an outlet to de-stress...

    Just because you may be idle when you are at your computer, it doesn't mean the rest of us are.

    My suggestion is for you to stop assuming. With each assumption, your ignorance becomes more glaring.

    Why apologize to me? I am nothing to you and you are nothing to me. If you want to apologize, apologize to your parents and family if you thinking you are underachieving - as you said, "isang mababang nilalang lang ako."

    nakakapagtsikot - See my previous post.

    "Pinagtyatyagaan ako" - Why not? When I have the time I also play with my dog. In your ignorance, please don't flatter yourself.
