This is why you never, never give out your cell or home phone number.  The calls will come nonstop.

There are several places that you can get free online phone numbers like brring I use k7.net.  I too made the same mistake the first few offers I did and Im still getting calls from them but its eased up alot since I got the k7 number.  Good luck getting them to stop calling I found that not answering makes the calls die off eventually but I still get a few here and there but nowhere near the amount I got the first week I started.

i was worried about getting a lot of calls so i registered with my house number but as soon as i became a member of each site, i went  into my profile and deleted the number. so i have only recieved a few phone calls since starting this.

Put yourself on the do not call list first and foremost.

Also what I found helpful is when they first call answer and tell them to not to call again.... Then do not answer any more calls, or just don't answer the phone if you know it is them.

some offers you have to give a real number, but the number to give is not you home or cell numbers....

set up a brring.com account or something like it.....

Thankfully I read a very helpful post on here before I gave out my number.  I went to k7.net and signed up for the internet voice mail and then completed an offer where they asked for my number and gave them the one I got from k7.  They left 2 voice mails before I could even complete all the requirements for the offer!  I've dodged alot of annoying phone calls with that!

If you use a fake or random number, some poor innocent, unsuspecting person will be receiving those calls.  They know if the number you give them is unassigned and will tell you to use a working number.
