What's more annoying than getting email, blog comment or SMS/text message spam? Landline spamming.

I'm a Globelines subscriber and I've been getting MyPLDT offers from a machine for two days. It usually call during my most productive hours - early in the afternoon.

Email, comment and text message spam I can live with. They're easily ignored. But nobody can ignore obtrusive phone rings. Landline/telephone rings carries with it urgency. That's why when we need to talk to somebody about very important subject, if possible, we call.

I believe nobody likes to answer prank calls. And who likes to listen to telemarketers? Pizza Hut and Greenwich does that often. That's ok, they're paying somebody to do it. PLDT has a machine to that. And that's clearly spamming.
