    you don't think apple, att, and all the others already do it...?

    In fact the Iphone was watching your GPS locations and
    patterns and recording it.

    You have to go into your preferences and turn off the GPS
    locate features on all the apps.

    Everyone sells data..

    O.K. Hot Shot
    Listen to this

    My neighbor has Verizon. He is complaining that telemarketers are calling him all the time on his phone.
    hes screaming at Verizon

    Just cause they are calling him.
    I called AT&T and said if telemarketers start calling me, Turn both or my phones off. Contract or no contract
    Or I will have a attorney to call them
    I've got a heck of a lot of folks calling their providers complaining

    Yeah. And Tafeekwa in India has the power to curtail all AT&T deals. Lol

    Turn off location services.

    no telemarketing, they sell it to target advertising, mailers, phone apps with pop ups like Pandora, in fact they have been known to turn on the facing camera to see what you do in order to get the data.

    Haven't you been getting those porn mailers and cheetos coupons?

    Campaign calls are not covered by DNC,
    pollyticians want the calls to get through to
    everyone.

    Collection calls or calls from people you have
    business relationships with (banks, etc) are not
    covered by DNC list.

    We have all our phones registered and rarely get telemarketers...I think certain charities are exempt...
