How to get the various people to stop calling?

[tigertoddy2008]

Someone got so sick of "alright, we might be ready to do this" that they sold their high end apartment!  People mostly stop calling when you've bought an arena etc but some still bother you, like the nightclub contact.  Can my character toss their phone away? lol

[Gaffa]

You can use this as a guide: 



Bryony will call about an Arena War Workshop, Gay Tony calls about a Nightclub, Paige calls about a Terrorbyte, Agatha calls about getting a Penthouse. 

In each case you normally need to buy the relevant properties to get the calls about those things to stop. And even then you'll still get the odd phonecall from some contacts.

*sigh* LJT here with some bad news

Unless you want to waste money, theres no way to stop the calls for the dlc business properties. I generally answer then hang up. I understand how frustrating it can be, lesters call is the worse "hey remember me, im the creeper that wont stop caling you about a worthless facility unless you want to do the doomsday heist. Please buy or i'll call you repeatedly,  because my developer over lords want you to grind or buy shark card to get me to stop. Also the world will end if tou dont even though you helped as crew member. Do it as lead!!!" *sigh* wish there was an option to turn it off, you know withot bending to knee to R* and their shoddy attempt to push me to shark cards. If such option ever comes it will be at the very end of gta online's life cycle where it wont matter. Cause R* logic

I know I can sell high end apartment, and that wouldn't bother me, all it is is an interior that doesn't change the rest of the game.  I guess facilities can't be sold?  I should go for an account that doesn't have a facility, bunker, anything, so I won't get called

The DLC business properies can't be sold. Once bought your stuck with them. Which is the annoying part. I dont want to buy useless properties i dont need or wont use.

Wish i had a better solution for you.

Then you're guaranteed to always be called.

I'm pretty lucky, LJT is the only one who keeps calling me, everyone else has quit. No Paige, Bryony, Lester, Agent 14, Brucie, Ron.

"Ever heard the expression 'money doesn't grow on trees'?"

 

Yes I have Lester. And do you know why? Because you call me up twenty times EVERY HOUR AND SAY EXACTLY THIS!!! SHUT THE HELL UP YOU FREAK!!!

Lester also calls you to buy the facility and puts an useless unhideable blip on your radar.

 

Apparently if you happen to own a MC and log in while registered as a MC, from inside of a MC or safehouse, nobody will call you to buy any business until you resign...I need to test this further though.

not sure if serious or joking but ljt is lester with some sort of voice changer to cover it tracks, it has the same vocal mannerisms and all.

[thepiebaker]

With the dlc properties they USUALLY calm down with the calls once the following update or 2 launches.

They have the polar opposite of mannerisms, Lester hates talking to other people, hates being near other people. LJT sounds more outgoing, sounds more like he enjoys conversing with people.

LJT can are seen in various cut-scenes when you buy an MC or the MC businesses. Lester is seen in heists. Definitely not the same person.

naa thats how you perceive it, they are the same person.

 

during one of his first calls, he gets confused and said "hey  its les... uh ljt" so yeah, its lester with a voice changer.

LJT is never seen, he's purely a voice that calls our phone. The only person from Bikers we've ever seen is Malc.

That's in the files, not actually used. Some evidence I might say argues against LJT bring Lester, Lester never gets his hands dirty, he always stays behind his computer, has others do everything for him. One of the MC resupplies has us intimidate a construction worker whose family member LJT has, after LJT calls to say the person he has is singing like a canary. Lester would never do anything like this.

Ahh, thanks for the correction. I thought LJT was seen somewhere in a cut-scene, but my memory is not so great.

LJT is literally Lester with a voice changer, proof:

 

 

Now why Lester doesn't want us to know his identity out of a sudden is beyond me.

 

On topic: I think is complete and utter bullsh*t how you can't truly get rid of the spam calls unless you fork out cash to buy whatever overpriced paywall they're telling you to buy.

 

Even worse, it makes no sense for a new player who has barely arrived to Los Santos and hasn't even played the original Heists to get calls from both Agent 14 and Ron to go buy their sh*t. Like, how did you got my number and why are you nagging a complete nobody in the first place?
