AOL ( as you well know ) has several ways to reduce the number of spam mail you get.  You can even block them emailing you back, but they just change the coding after the @ part of their email.  After I block them, and send them off to the spam reports link provided by AOL........<br><br>In any event, they probably are finding ways to spam us, not only on your Cell Phones, but your Facebook, my space.com, Twitter, and Classmates.com, and other blog's as well.  ( Nice run on )...... :o)<br><br>On comcast phone service, they have some easy ways to block callers but a limited list of 6 callers only (same as the old phone companies). However, it doesn't work for toll free caller numbers.  I found out, that you can call comcast ( digital phone service ), and they will bypass, that limit to where they will block a particular pestering toll free number ( i.e. 800 and 888 area codes ) for you.  Of course, comcast digital phone has a two digit # entry you can utilized to report harassing callers as well. I consider persistent marketing callers as harassing calls personally. Comcast should use a directory where you have no limit on the amount of caller numbers you want to block.<br><br>The "Do Not Call list" (provided by the Gov't) doesn't seem to work that well, and some marketing companies us it to get your phone numbers while working around the rules. Long story, which I don't have the energy to explain or work further in wasting my time.........<br><br>My philosophy, is they have no business bugging us when we pay for the phone service, and they don't contribute towards those monthly payments we make, etc.<br><br>So, I was able to block a 888 marketing number that was getting on my nerves.  I don't like to be waking up from needed sleep by some marketing "A-holes" trying to get my money in their pockets. <br><br>Just sharing my thoughts]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[W4ZJM]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2009 3:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 12 Tips to Fight Spam on Your Computer and Cell Phone]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</guid><description><![CDATA[nephew]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ihatechicken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 25th 2009 11:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 12 Tips to Fight Spam on Your Computer and Cell Phone]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</guid><description><![CDATA[what r u stupid?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ksgraywolf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 5th 2009 5:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 12 Tips to Fight Spam on Your Computer and Cell Phone]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/18/12-tips-to-fight-spam-on-your-cell-phone-and-computer/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think as the Greatest Country in this world it is a disgrace that the computer software companies the computer manufactuers that as Americans we as personal computer users have to put up with spam and any viruises what so ever as America with the Technology that we have that viruises and spam should come to an end for good for the line of Freedom of Speech Online for Every American that owns a Personal Computer whether it be a PC or a MAC!!!!!
