as soon as i recognize a solicitation call i just ask them to hold on a minute - and then put the phone down til i hear the 'you forgot to hang up the phone' whine!

if i am bored, i encourage the solicitor to continue on and on with their spiel and then just tell them no and good-bye - and hang up.
