Cellular Phone Forum / General / General Topics / July 2008Why is true multitasking in background important?
Damn those constant calls from xxx-xxx-xxxx every day trying to sell you something on your sellphone. Symbian phones have a freeware answer... http://www.intomobile.com/2008/07/27/stopcall-for-s60-free-app-that-helps- you-deal-with-unwelcome-disturbances.html Background multitasking IS important. Ex-wife or her lawyer buggin' you for money? I can think of hundreds of great uses for this software.....(c; >Damn those constant calls from xxx-xxx-xxxx every day trying to sell you >something on your sellphone. Maybe I'm lucky and unique, but I don't remember EVER getting a call on my cell phone from someone trying to sell me something.

My sellphone is my business phone. Once listed on Dun & Bradstreet's superspammer, you get LOTS of calls from support businesses...not to mention Dun & Bradstreet trying to pump you for more data for them to sell you off with...all week long. If I want to borrow a few million dollars for my business, the loan sharks of American banking are waiting in line to write those checks..... >>>Damn those constant calls from xxx-xxx-xxxx every day trying to sell you >>>something on your sellphone.

Especially the pitches for their "services". D&B needs to have -- or have mandated for them -- a real privacy policy. > Agreed, that is annoying.

They are under the wrong impression that you and your business just cannot survive without their listing, and without being in debt to the bankers. Many of my competitors fell into the debt trap and are no longer in business. This depression is causing those businesses to fail that have these debt loads bearing down on them with reduced cash flows causing defaults. Without debt, and holding down overhead by not buying the owner some super pickup truck to drive around on the company's nickel, most businesses, including mine, are surviving quite nicely, as I have since 1986. When business is slack...I simply go on vacation...(c; >>Agreed, that is annoying.

I have turned down D&B listing requests for years now, and my business is doing fine. If I need credit references for a new supplier I just use my banks and current suppliers. Works every time.

Works every time. Me, too. I still bet you're listed. D&B scans all the phone books and autocreates listings from it, then calls the business to glean more info for the listing. The bankers are behind it all. It's an easy way for them to reference businesses. > Traveling Man <none@none.com> wrote in news:1p8hbz4t9oqtk > $.y8pl6e9cgj0h.dlg@40tude.net: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > The bankers are behind it all.

If they're automated calls, you can sue. SignatureSteve Sobol / Victorville, CA, USA It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room. >>Damn those constant calls from xxx-xxx-xxxx every day trying to sell you >>something on your sellphone. > >Maybe I'm lucky and unique, but I don't remember EVER getting a call >on my cell phone from someone trying to sell me something. Yeah, I'd be really pissed off if that happened to me. Only people who ever tried to sell me stuff via mobile were Sprint, and I made them stop.

Ever since I ported my home number to a cell phone and dropped my landline, the telco calls me all the time. |
