Talk:TeleZapper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Upon receiving this, an autodialer will hang-up and remove the just-called number from the telemarketer's database, thus reducing future call volume."

- This is simply not a true statement. Usually, numbers that are dialed and determined to be a disconnected number or wrong number are re-dialed in future campaigns after the number is re-verified with the original source. The autodialer doesn't "remove the number from the database", it simply records the outcome as "disconnected" and the marketer will requeue it for calling in future windows. The only way to be "removed" from the database is to have your number flagged as a "Do Not Call" record, through the National DNC list or through writing or calling the marketer directly.

What is the purpose of this section? Wikipedia isn't a product directory, and the purpose of the article is to provide encyclopedic information about the product, not a list of ways to stop telemarketers from calling you.--142.59.60.210 20:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

The above comment was mine logged out, I've since removed this section, as no one has provided any justification for it.--Crossmr 21:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
