DirecTV calls to let you know you're on the "Do Not Call" list

post #1 of 3

Too funny. I'd call them back and say I'd like to move to the "Do Not Pay" list because they violated the "do not call" rule (although they're using the excuse that the call isn't marketing, it's informational). Ugh.

My phone just rang. Caller ID reads: Out Of Area... do I pick up? I did.

It was an automated DirecTv call. "You have asked us not to call you. Because you are on our Do Not Call List, we can't call you with all of our super-awesome special promotions..." The recording goes on to ask me to hit a button to opt-out of their Do Not Call List.

Dear sir. I say what the fuck? I specifically told them not to call so they call to see if its okay to call. They can contact me. They have my email/physical address. And what's up with the "Out Of Area" bullshit on Caller ID instead of "DirecTv Marketing".

Yeah, this isn't a huge ordeal but it is really annoying.

Yeah I got a pre-recorded message on my machine asking for permission to call to take me off the do not call list, and immediately thought the same thing as you.
