Automatic telemarketing
5 Answers
I've heard that sometimes the machines which randomly dial up homes for sales purposes don't hang up after calling. Does this mean that you wouldn't be able to call the police if they rang?

Would you mean you are calling the police because the telemarketing people rang? you should register your number with www.tpsonline.org.uk (if you are in the UK of course). They stop these nuisance calls.
We had this happen to us. There is a sort of hollow tone on the line until the auto dialling machine cuts off. You can press the buttons on your phone 'til you are blue in the face - dial tone unable to be accessed. We changed to a new number.We were not too bothered at the time as we lived somewhere with good mobile reception, however as we live in a wooded area now this would be a big problem.
