The Jolly Roger Telephone Co. - Kickstarter - Interesting Idea

[Ian J]

Interesting idea but I think it's way too expensive.

I would jump at it if it were a physical device (and it worked in the UK)

For the cost of a year there are devices that block most incoming calls.

I just love the idea of keeping the cold caller on the phone.

If the caller asks for the bill payer, or someone else by role, I tell that I'm going to fetch them then leave the phone in the spare room.

There are scripts you can use which probably ties them up for longer; with my approach they usually ring off after a minute or two. But I value my time higher than theirs. I'm not sure I value my time quite as high as this company wants me to though, and likewise, it doesn't work where I live, so it's kind of academic anyway.

Very nice project but I usually prefer making fun of them myself ^^.
