High volume outbound callers such as surveyors, debt collectors, politicians, telemarketers, etc. all try to maximize their resources. Given the general unpredictability of answers, callers resort to using multiple lines per agent employing dialing strategies known as predictive dialing and power dialing. Predictive dialing utilizes a pacing algorithm that factors agent availability, average call times, and answer rates in an attempt to maximize agent talk time with the lowest possible abandonment rate. Despite clever pacing, agents are inevitably unavailable for all answers and abandonment occurs. Power dialing maximizes agent talk time by continuously dialing all available lines. This results in astronomical abandonment rates.

either a fund raiser or a telemarketer, since they did not leave a msg on my answering machine, i don't know for sure. i am in medicare/tricare and am not interested in buying supplemental health insurance.
THE FCC WEBSITE DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. I AM SUSPICIOUS OF VERIZON PHONE CO. ALSO, BUT SINCE I HAVE A LISTED NUMBER, IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW HOW TO THROW THESE PEOPLE OFF ON THE WRONG TRACK. SOMETIMES I ANSWER TO MY HOME BUSINESS CONSULTING SERVICE, BUT THEY EVENTUALLY CAN CK A LISTED NUMBER I HAVE HAD FOR 20 YRS.
i may resume complaints with FCC after i have fired verizon and signed up for an unlisted no. with MagicJack. i have other friends who have stopped service with Verizon because it is a problem "telemarketing platform".

If you can"t leave a message you can"t call. I work third shift and do no appreciate anon. calls during the day or evening.
