My personal experience as a phone rep introduced me to the business world and launched my career. Not to mention, the industry employs thousands, many of which are students who rely on these jobs to pay for school. In my previous experience in call centres, I routinely added people to the Do Not Call list. Telesolicitors are required display a contact # in order to provide you the option. Simply call the number back, 416-581-1076, and leave your name and the number where they contacted you and request your number to be added to the do not call list. If they are routinely calling and hanging up, it might be worthwhile mentioning what happened and when the call occured. Clearly, it's not in their interest to be more of a nuissance than is inherent to their business. The challenge I found was getting an irate message from someone who we were calling on a regular basis but they failed to leave the number and therefor could not be removed from our list. Hope this helps. Although telemarketing calls annoy me too, I’m still a bit of an advocate of call centres.

My goal is to find out their home phone numbers, and then phone them at approximately the same time they phone me. (as they say, "turnabout is fair play") Here's what my e-mails to them said: 1. Remove my home phone number from your database immediately, and confirm to me that you have completed this action. 2. I have filed a formal complaint with the CRTC, since you have not provided me with the option of replying to your voicemail and opting out of your parasitic harassment. 3. I look forward to contacting you at your residence during your leisure time (or better yet, at some disproportionately inconvient time when my phone call will disrupt your life and incovenience you as much as you have done so to me today) to discuss this further.

I use a prepaid cellphone card because the cell is for emergencies only--I don't use it much up here in Yellowknife. Because I pay for every call, incoming as well as outgoing, I simply ignore calls from strange numbers. I didn't answer. I did a websearch just now and found you nice people and the mystery was solved! Thank you all so much! I did a Canada411 search after getting a nuisance call from 416-581-1076 on Friday.

As you say several times a day seems appropriate. Amy maybe you should forget that Smith guy and be leaving your message for Don MacLeod, President. As you say several times a day seems appropriate.
