I installed a free product about 2 years ago to solve my telemarketer
problem. It is Free (for a landline). I requires that you be
affiliated with supported telephone providers.
I subscribe to Verizon, which it supports. I seems to eliminate
about +95% of unwanted calls. The real test was that I received NO
political calls. You set up your account to call-forwarding to their
phone number where it is compared to their database and if there is no
match then it is returned back to your phone. It works and it is free.
If it supports your system, then you are in luck.

My odd problem with telemarketers calling immediately after making a loud
noise hasn't happened much, until these past few days. Early this afternoon I
came home after a long drive. I closed the front door firmly, and in less than
a minute the phone rang with a telemarketer on the other end.
Earlier this year I looked extensively online for any information about this, and I learned that
many of our electronic phones, such as cordless, leave the microphone alive when the phone is not in
use, what's known as "live mike" or "hot mike". I'm not certain if this is true
for all such phones, but it appears to be true for my AT&T cordless phone set.
I'll have to look into my older textbooks on telephony and see how our
mechanical telephones disconnected the earpiece and microphone when the handset
is in the cradle.
