These motherfuckers and their telemarketing are really pissing me off. They call my cell phone EVERYDAY trying to get me to upgrade some service or another. There is a reason I haven't had a landline in almost ten years. At first I used to just answer and fuck with them but that has worn thin on entertainment value. I called them a few minutes ago to see what they could do about removing me from their call list. This jackhole on the phone proceeds to tell me that they have a do not call list but in order for them to put me on it they have to charge me $1.95. Can you imagine the gasket I blew when he told me that?
I have to pay them an extra one time amount for them to quit calling me. If it were not for my cable interewebs I would cancel that shit right now.
Ideas?

To clarify: You use their internet service, and they're calling you to upgrade?
I think the fine print of your contract will probably govern and their privacy policy will reserve the right for them to annoy you. I don't think you can invoke the federal DNC list, since you are a customer, so you're probably at their mercy. Shell out the dough or continue fucking with them.

Tell them that Mr. Mount was a victim of a violent murder and that you are a police investigator.
Proceed with asking them questions about their relationship with Mr. Mount. Tell them that you will have to get a local policeman to come out and ask them some questions.
End with the fact that you believe that Mr. Mount was a flaming homosexual and they are now suspected of being a jilted lover and will have to come down to the station to answer some questions.

That is a great prank call! Haven't heard it in years though.
I think you are right Wes since I am already a customer I'm boned as far as it being covered under DNC list.

That is correct, anyone you have services with can fuck with you as much as they want, the National DNC does not apply.
Here's an idea call them and tell them your switching telephone numbers, that the new number on your account should be (205) 353-55...(ha ha I kid) but change it to a fake number or give'em your sisters number.

Get a landline. But no phone.
It's what I did. Had to have it for the alarm system anyway. I give that number to anybody I don't want to hear from.

Update.
I raised enough hell with them yesterday that supposedly they have added me to their DNC list without charging me. As an extra measure of protection I changed my contact number to a fax number.
