ACMA - Do not call register

[DX grunt]

To assist you in reducing the amount of telemarketing phone calls, you can register with the Australian Govt website.

https://www.donotcall.gov.au/

Hope this helps. Any chance of making this a sticky, as it affects many of us?

Take care out there.

We registered with this at work but still get countless calls. We let them all know that we are on the register and they crap their pants!

I am on that Register and whilst it has meant a lot less calls I still get the occasional one.
When you mention you are on the Register and want their details to report them they soon hang up.

X2 with Kristoffa, registered but still get calls all the time, not as many though

Recently told a caller the phone was on the register, she said with her American / Asian accent it was a business phone so could not be registered.

I told her the registration was accepted by the DNCR and told her to F-Off, I know its wrong to swear and at a lady. BUT I felt better.....

cheers for the reminder Rossco, i've just re-upped (with mobile numbers too)

[robbo0001]

I re-registered with this yesterday, and have received 2 spam text messages about a Lotto win on our mobiles, and two calls from "Microsoft"on our unregistered landline.
I am thinking "Do Not Call Register is Hacked"
Not happy....probably better to just stay the hell off All databases, Government run, or not.

Don't forget, just because you register itcan take uo to 3 monthsbefore the registration goes through, so you will still get the nuisance calls coming through........ we registered about 6 months ago and it too ok a couple of months before the calls stopped, we get absolutely no spam calls now, not even the computer spammers from india lol....... be patient, it does work

the rego plate's still attached to my forum profile, what more do i need?

[Clunk]

Sorry can't answer that due to me turning a new leaf and am no longer going to hijack Rossco's thread....... Well not this thread anyway :D:D:D:cool:

[the ferret]

I just tellem "your call is in a Queue, would you like to hold?"

Or when they ask for the owner of the company.. "Oh that would be Mr Bench, I'll get him for you, please wait a moment"... then just put the phone on the bench and come back a bit later Gooooorn!!

OOh yes, and where are you calling from??.... "Melbourne sir"... what street in Melbourne and do you have a Melbourne in India??? Goooorn.


Or even... Can I have your home number and ring you back tonight??? " Sorry Sir, I do not take calls at home" ................WELL NOR DO I!

Cheers, the ferret.
