    Thumbs up Sick of telemarketing calls?

    It’s a quick and easy registration process on the government website.

    This is for Australian phone numbers

    REMEMBER: Mobile Phone Numbers Go Public next month.


    REMINDER all mobile phone numbers are being released to
    telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls.


    Below is a link where you can enter your phone numbers online to put
    an end to telemarketing calls. Don't just delete those calls
    otherwise you will find that you have been signed up for all sorts
    of extra services that you didn't want or know about. Like special
    chimes, music etc.

    I just say " Oh, the person you need to speak to is Mr Bench, I'll put you onto him" then I just put the phone on the bench and carry on banging or grinding etc, go back a couple of minutes later and they're gone!!

    It states on the Site it is for Private No's only but I registered My Company Mobile No and it was accepted.

    We should start a partition to the Pollies to make it illegal to call from a Call Centre.

    I know that there are a lot of people employed in that sector but it is a invasion of Privacy and always at 6 to 7 pm .

    Did this about a month ago, havn't had a call since.
    AND the fax has stopped printing crap that goes in the bin costing me ink & paper.
    Thats reduced my carbon footprint JG, can I pay less C-tax now?
