Apple now turned to telemarketing?
just got a call from some somebody that claimed to be from apple (caller id only showed TOLL FREE and the number) trying to sell me an applecare extended warranty. i then called that number back and the system actually said WELCOME TO APPLECARE!
WTF is this, is apple now resorting to this kind of nonsense, plus I AM ON THE NO CALL FROM TELEMARKETERS LIST!

I posted the above to the apple website at http://discussions.apple.com/thread....31299&tstart=0
and guess what, after 3 responses apple LOCKED my thread! obviously this was somehow embarrassing to them? is this a new apple feature, getting calls at dinner and on weekends?

they have always done this. When your standard 1 year is about to expire they usually call you to see if you want to extend. I think of it as more of a courtesy than a bother.
well, an email would have done the same thing, wouldn't it.....

The no call does not apply if you're a customer somewhere.
well what email would they send it to? not everyone has a .mac address...
obviously the email address i put down along with my phone number when i registered the macbook, DUH!
customer or not, does anybody like to be called at dinnertime with some offer from your cable company, your cell phone company or apple?

I am surprised that Apple didn't just delete the thread? I get calls at dinner and put them on hold until after I finish eating. They don't seem to wait.

You gave them your real phone number? Most often I make one up.

sorry i had to laugh at this one alot.
Just imagin the person who gets a call to extend there warrenty on their "mac". which they don't own
I've never received a call from Apple. And yes, I register with my real phone #.
Heck, I would love for Steve (or one of his representatives) to call me. I want to talk with Steve about some of the products I want Apple to make.
