Well, they are not allowed to give you permission to hang up. Its
rough
on those with good manners who are used to an agreement with the
other
party when they terminate a phone call.

They simply are not going to say "thank you for your time, sorry"
and
hang
up first because they would lose their jobs.

I have " Caller ID" and if I don't know the caller, I don't answer.
It
saves a lot of irritation. MLB

We use something called anonymous call rejection and privacy direct.
No
computer calls and if they call they have to identify themselves on the
phones before I have to talk to them- Hide quoted text -

To MLB, Stormee, and Matthew:

We have pretty tight funds, and caller ID through the phone company
(our local 911 doesn't recognize cell phone addresses AND I can't be
without that) isn't available by itself. So, rather than my $15 per
month (plus taxes and fees), I'd have a $50 minimum before fees and
taxes and that's too much <shrug>. So, I answer the phone, most of
the 'survey takers' and 'free cell phone' people aren't as pushy as
that one guy was.

Telemarketers do not call.

Everyone needs to remember though. It is your telephone, you pay for it.
You can not answer or hang up whenever you please.

A caller has no more right to engage you in conversation than someone who
knocks on your door has a right to enter your home.
