I've done that before. Typically, they are not permitted by their company's policies, from hanging up. Therefore, they are stuck on the line for as long as you're willing to have them stuck there. And...at least they're not bothering someone else, in the meantime.
Lately, I've resorted to caller id, and the answering machine. There are
way too many loopholes in the National Do Not Call List for it to be effective.
