Beegreenstrings Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 go on the national do not call listI could go into detail. But we are the do not call list... Technically. Non of our numbers are public numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Non-profit is allowed to call anything. Except cell phones where the user has to pay for the incoming call. That would include political advertising and canvasing. Outside of accidentally calling a police or fire department, there are no limits.Do not call, unlisted, nothing matters. They are still allowed to call.Which is why I was happy to dump my land line and go Google Voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphy Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 by adding 1 to the last number it called.555-1111555-1112555-1113and so on and so forth.that is illegalBack in the day I wrote auto dial software (Don't hate on me I had to pay the bills), I learned about a company back in the 80s the crashed the Capital Building's phone system by doing that, so that quickly became illegal.

ReconRat Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Lists of good phone numbers are maintained in databases, and are cheap to buy.Also lists can be tailored to the interests of the call center.Calls are made mostly at random, but follow up calls are pretty much targeted.In Florida, they take this stuff seriously. Even the non-profit calls.Get carried away, especially after being told not to call anymore,and the Florida attorney general's office takes over.They pull the phone records, and each harassing call costs $15,000 bucks.Needless to say, all weirdo phone calls suddenly cease. That's another list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
