Hi Scott. No, it's not free. It's $3.99 over here in Canada and $2.99 in the 
US. If you've used apps like Roger and WhatsApp, Threema is similar to those 
apps.

I hear you, but I've put both my land line, and my IPhone cell phone number
on the Do Not Call registry. So point being; if they don't want to hear my
offensive or rude comments about their what evers, then perhaps they'll just
not call me anymore? That is their option, not mine as I don't have that
luxury.

But they do indeed call back. So sorry, but game on.

These unwanted and annoying calls are just the way of the world nowadays.

Just my 1.9 cents worth.

I have sometimes made some fun when I got calls from telemarketers and if
somebody was too persistent I may have even gotten somewhat rude and asked
them to please just stop calling. However, keep one thing in mind, these are
fellow human beings on the other end of the line and especially if they are
from asia or other regions of the world getting a job like this may be a big
deal for them and they are just doing their job. It's one thing to make more
or less good natured fun, but to actually insult somebody, call them bad
names or make fun because English is not their first language to me goes too
far. There is also a difference between a telemarketing call and an obvious
scam call where somebody let's say tells you they are from Microsoft and
they tell you you have to give them instant access to your computer
otherwise a virus which your computer was infected with will wipe out
everything. I don't feel particularly inclined to be nice to guys like that,
but while I might say that I'm not stupid and hang up on them even here I'd
never call them a f** something.
