Hello. I am having problems with people -- usually telemarketers calling my home. When I hang up the phone, and wait a few seconds, and then pick it up again, they are still on the line. How is this done? Can I do something about it?
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: You need to wait a few more seconds. Give it about a full minute to make sure the line disconnects, but it usually should not take that long. And of course, make sure all of your numbers -- landline, cellular and VOIP are listed on the federal and (your) state 'do not call' lists as well. PAT]
