Did anything happen as a result of your complaints?
Were you reimbursed for charges for your lost minutes?
Did the phone carrier make any effort to reduce all those unwanted
calls?
I have a low use cell phone plan. Depending on time and place, an
unwanted call could cost me 2ドル.00 per call minute. I tend to doubt
I'd get reimbursed from my cell phone carrier or the politicians if I
were to receive such calls. As mentioned previously, my mother who
was a patient in a nursing home received soliciting calls on her phone
and that forced me to disconnect the service.
I might note that there are private businesses that violate the law by
various shticks, such as claiming a prior business relationship or a
"mistake".
