If it's a man he'll keep ringing her back, probably not what she wants! :-)

I tell them I'm going to get my wallet, put the phone down... and watch TV.
They eventually give up and go.

No!
There was a case reported recently on the radio of a call centre worker who suffered
hearing damage when a whistle was blown over the phone. She sued and won.

I've done similar things, but it's not that satisfying.

Just hang up. Rudeness is cold calling.

One should possibly say, sorry, not interested before hanging up. It
is not the personal fault of call centre callers that they are
'intruding', they need to earn a crust like parking wardens do. A
capable person doing either job will gain work skills and experience
that will help land more interesting and higher paid jobs.
A good call centre operator will not be offended by a hang-up. This is
preferable to dealing with someone who is not going to buy but cannot
readily say 'no' or is just a time waster.
Personally I give American Express callers the impression that I am on
the verge of bankrupcy.

I screen all my calls thru an answering machine.
This works also for pests who ring during feeding,
toilet or showering time.

Also, be sure your phone account is password
protected because disgruntled phone scammers can
ring Telstra and cancel your service. Do it
yesterday!

I always ask for the name and address the company they are
canvassing for. Then tell them that we are on the do not call
register and that the company they are phoning for will now
be reported to the ombudsman. The number of calls have
dropped dramatically. If I feel really mean I reverse charge
call the company until they accept the call and ask for their
complaints department.
I have far too much time on my hands some days!!
I really like the Microsoft caller, I like to lead them on for as
long as possible;
"My computer is just booting up", wait 5 minutes
"its Windows 3.1", wait a bit longer as they search for the
Windows 3.1 script they are to follow.
"No I dont have the internet" I usually get a "**** you" at this
point.

Might this be the time to observe that an
unanswered ringing phone will stop all by itself?

Pointless too, the calls time out after a relatively short period of
silence.
Telemarketing systems are more than just a phone and a caller these days.

They can go find a real job.
In the meantime, they get what they deserve.

Their number doesn't show up, how do you get it?

They don't have a Windows 3.1 script.

47 minutes is my record, though after finally hanging up they did ring back
and wanted to continue just as if nothing had happened. It wasn't until I
explained that I knew they were trying to gain remote access to my computer
to install software which I needed to pay to register in order to regain
control of my computer that they simply said Ok, thank you and hung up.
Certainly. The cue is when they inevitably ask right at the beginning: "How are
you?" (this greeting has been discussed at length previously in aus.tv in a
"Question for Sylvia").
