It depends on your plan, but as long as you don't talk to them you should be more or less fine. Just let them leave messages on your machine, and blacklist their numbers if you can.

Yea I have been recieving extra phone calls too. I just dont answer if I dont know the number. If its that important then they will leave a message.

I have had calls also.  In addition, a couple "services" mysteriously got added to my monthly phone bill.  I was able to get these removed and receive credit for the charges but it's annoying and a hassle.  Be careful which offers you are giving out your phone number for.  I don't do offers that require it anymore.

I actually set my phone not to ring for the number that I am not familiar with. it will go straight to my voice mail.
I got tons of strange number everyday too. Lucky that I have unlimited minutes  ;D

You could get another phone number to avoid this problem by filtering them to voice mail so you can call them back without having to have your phone ring off the hook.

Pick up, tell them you don't live there or you changed your mind or something and to remove your name from their list :P
Or they might just keep calling and annoying you.

Its great when you enter your info (email and phone #) they say theyll email you. You complete the offer and it says "You will recieve a CALL soon". And then you dont get credit for the offer.  ???

Most calls you can avoid but definitely not all. A quick, "I'm not interested, can you please take me off the list?" is not only short, to the point and effective and you should never get more than 1 minute.
