P.O. Box 9014, Farmingdale, NY 11735-9014. Be careful to whom you give personal information. Most of the time, telemarketers don't bother. And it's annoying. At a time when people are more wired than ever, they're also working to take control of how and when they communicate.
People enjoy the freedom of easy communication, but they place a premium on the value of privacy.
And two weeks ago, the company introduced another feature to respond to consumer requests for more privacy control. Quiet Time allows people to block incoming calls during a certain period, such as during dinner or when the baby is asleep. Important callers programmed into the system can ring through. Already, there are 3,000 subscribers. Customers want more control of their communications, says Tressie Long, spokeswoman for Cincinnati Bell.
