How to thwart pesky cell phone callers

Occasionally our cell phone numbers fall into the wrong hands. When they do and the pesky person keeps calling, here's what you do. Store their number and assign the "silent" ring to it. Now you won't be interrupted by their calls. But don't let the fun stop there.

The next step is to get a free account at YouMail where you can assign fake error recordings to pesky person's phone number (e.g., "The number you called is no longer in service."). Click here to sample some of the fake error greetings.

As fun as YouMail is, it also has practical applications. For example you can select professional recordings to portray a polished image or you can manage voice mail online.
