Prior to the instigation of the "national do not call list", I was receiving several unsolicited calls every day! I was making progress, by using the phrase: "Please place me on your do not call list." The volume of calls I received, was reduced significantly. The response was almost always the same, it would take a minute, they would read my name and phone number to me to verify their information. I do not remember getting repeat calls from the same company after completing this procedure.
Of course before I started using this, I used a few different questionable techniques. The easiest was to simply lay the handset down, and go do other things. I would only be rude in response to significantly rude behavior on their end. A few times, while extremely bored, I would feign interest, in an effort to see how long I could keep them on the line, without making a sale.

Say: Please place me on your do not call list. much easier
