Block telemarketers etc

That's a great idea and everything...but it says that some groups can still call you...such as charities, religious organisations and registered political parties. Says you can still also get calls for market research.

That's pretty much everything that fucks me off about telemarketing calls right there...they're all exempt.

I only rarely try and get sold cheap holidays on the Gold Coast.

The Do Not Call Register is currently experiencing very high demand.
Please try again later. Thank you for your patience

Fuck em , they can get fucked too, I am on enough databases the gov't like to sell, why add another one?

Besides that I don't get that much by telewankers

 

[Priest of Evil]

I got a silent no. to avoid telemarketing, only it didnt work, they still call for Mr. Crossman, tosser!

I'd like a register to stop anyone at all ringing me. Ever.

Or perhaps just an automated answering service that says "I'M WRITING! BUGGER OFF!"

Why not just not get a phone, Wrathy? Or just keep it unplugged except for when you want to make a call?

 

[Wrathchild]

If I resided under a roof of my own, I'd consider it.

That, and declaring my house to be an independent state with its own laws and currency .

In this hyper-connected age, it's damn hard to be incommunicado but I do what I can. I make a point of never giving anyone my mobile number so I don't have to remember it.

[Blitzkrieg]

I have a silent number, and we don't get a whole lot, especially compared to other folks.

 

[Spiff]

We used to get them all the time but now we'll get maybe one or two a week.

I don't even have a house or a home phone. Fuck yeah!
