I've found that answering the phone, letting them run through their spiel and then asking to be put on the no-call list keeps the number of (repeat) calls to a minimum. Note that the no call registry does not cover charities or places you've done business with, so these folks need the above special requests to keep them away. I also go out of my way to call the numbers in the anything-but-privacy notices from companies to shut off marketing from 'related' businesses. This behavior has cut the number of calls I get on my landline [1] from about 4/day to ~1.5/week. I get far more annoyed by taped recordings, but then those can get reported to the FCC [2], which likely does nothing (though it feels good), as the FCC isn't exactly a watchdog.
