So we got a courtesy call for dad today today again for his one magazine subscription and he was outside so we didn't call him in. But right away mom was getting all "upset" about how they wanted him to pay money again, etc. when he just paid them. I told her it is not always a call for money when they make those kind of calls. It went on and on like always to the point of her finally listening to me after too much stressful thinking again. So what do you think most courtesy calls are for?

I thought so too, so why would a magazine subscription place be doing a courtesy call thing. I told them last time that he didn't want to change anything, and he doesn't. These calls are a drag, they make me get up too many times and my legs hurt so it's a big inconvenience at times. I will tell them the next time to stop the calls.

The only kind of courtesy calls I know of are from the doctor's and dentist's office. Reminding us of our appointments. Around here they are so busy the appointment dates are several months out so it is good to get those calls. Not sure what other types there would be.

You can get a phone service that gives a recording to any number that you haven't okay. The recording tells them if they are solicitors to not call back and gives them a chance to get through if they are a legitimate call. It is great! You should call your phone service and see about it.
