Robo Calls and Cell Phones
| Sun, 10-19-2008 - 11:30am |
I have not received a robo call and probably won't because my state is pretty blue. But I wondered, with so many people having cell phones, how effective do you think the robo calls will be. Don't they target land lines? How many people still have a land line? Most of the people I know have dropped their land lines. How would you feel if you received a robo call on your cell phone? Would you listen to robo calls or just hang up? How does caller id factor into the robo call plan?

I have been getting robo calls AND political calls from real people on my cell phone. I'm a registered Independent in Florida.
In reference to robo calls, since I'm interested in the race, I listen to the entire call. I even save the call so that I can research the info that they give me later. That is a huge advantage for the voter if they are interested in knowing or finding the truth.
When I spoke to the real person I lied and said I had not made up my mind yet. She was so nice I didn't want to upset her.

There has been no robocalling to my home yet (I'm in a "blue state").

I live in a battleground state that is up for grabs, but I haven't received any calls at all.
If I get a Robo call I will hang up - regardless if it's from the candidate I support or the one I oppose, regardless if it's on my home phone or my cell phone.
