Sounds fun to me.

It seems like such service is not available in Spain.

I usully just hang up the minute I realize the call comes from a call center, or as soon as I
get a call from somebody with a South American accent in a line where I expect none. Sorry, but
all the South Americans that call my personal line are telemarketers.

Telemarketers are specially sucky when they call phones that are supposed to be used as
emergency lines, because they hog the line. You have to hang asap.
