The Do Not Call Register works very well in stopping local commercial telemarketers.
My brother has an interesting strategy for discouraging the foreign callers. He feigns interest and then says something like - "Can you please just wait a minute - I need to get something off the stove/ call my wife etc"
then he puts the phone down on a table, walks away and watches TV or eats.
He figures that the 10 or so minutes that elapse before they finally hang up, is 10 minutes that they aren't annoying someone else.
Cheers,
Renato
