I had previously tried all kinds of other ways to stop the calls. It proved to be impossible. But if everybody adopted the above approach, Cardholder Services would be out of business in a week.
I have, in the past, started listening to the spiel by a telemarketer and after they get going, just lay the phone down and don't bother to pick it up for several minutes. I have never had them to be still on the other end when I do pick it back up.
