home phone ?? what's that?

Occasionally I ask them to come over and take a bath to talk about it, then stop talking and wait for them to respond.

Hi.
When I talk to a person I tell them that according to the rules stated on the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission), they mey be charged a fine ranging from 1500 $ to 15000 $ for each offense, they rarely insist and even more rarely call again.
When I hear an automated messaging system, I wait for the message to finish and when I get the number to call back, I do and tell them the same about the fines. Needless to write, they also don't call back.
In the last few years, I received at most five such calls per year on average and these are from autorized company or agencies. Usually, I tell them that I am not interested and to put my number on their own exclusion list. So far it works well.
Just ideas.

New:
- phone rings
- a taped voice tells you to wait until someone's available to bother you.

When these cold callers ring me I just say "tell me more". I keep saying it over and over until they get the message I don't really care. Fantastic to hear them giving me their best sale pitch though.
Try it. "Oh really, tell me more."
