Never answer the same telemarketer twice

A drop dead simple lifehack for never answering a telemarketer twice, which I’ve been using for years.

  • Create a contact named Telemarketer in your phone.
  • Get a call from a telemarketer, and you more ore less politely tell him or her that you are not interested in buying anything.
  • Every time a new telemarketer calls you, you add their number to that contact.

So if a telemarketer calls from the same number again, it shows up at Telemarketer and you simply don’t answer.

If you like, you may also set a custom ringtone for that contact.

Simple and works on most phones.
