The first call that I got was from somebody trying to sell me some kind of insurance concerning my mortgage. The woman on the phone would only identify her firm as having been "authorized by SunTrust" (my mortgage company) to call me, but clearly she worked for somebody else. I read her the riot act ("in Texas, if I tell you not to call me and you subsequently do, it's a $500 fine per call").

The second call, this morning, was a robot offering me some other sort of product (wasn't paying careful attention). The robot did announce its phone number at the beginning of the call, before I had a chance to write it down or anything.

Anyway, I put our phone number back into the do-not-call registry again. We'll see if that does any good.
