I tried that approach for a little bit. They ended up filling up my voicemail box within like 4 or 5 days.

Huh. I’ve never had telemarketers leave messages. Their system seemed to detect and give up.

If that’s what other people experience then yeah, this may not be a silver bullet.

I wonder if it depends on the pause in the voicemail automated reply. Their systems detect if someone is talking before connecting I believe, I pause before talking to unknown numbers and you usually get some white noise then it hangs up. Versus a real person who would probably say "Hello?!"
