When I answered there was no one on the other line for a few seconds. When someone finally got on the line they were calling from The Sun newspaper offering a trial of the newspaper (daily, or once weekly at 25% off).It didn't help their cause when the telemarketer could barely speak.

I also have been getting calls every day for about 3 weeks now.  I called back and got 2 quick rings and a busy signal.  I don't think this number is in service but something definitely wonky is going on here...

Someone is calling from this number too often to be funy.

It's a telemarketing company hired by the Toronto Sun. I've complained to them, and to Allstream (who provides the phone service). To deter telemarketers I've found the best practice is to be as loud, vulgar and ignorant as possible. Make them so disgusted with you that they WANT to never call again. Also, blowing a really loud and shrill whistle into the phone works wonders. I keep one beside my phone at all times.

I have received about a dozen of calls from (416) 646-8801 and have also written and e-mail to allstream.  If allstream does not respond by Monday, I will file a formal complaint with the CRTC.

Got a call from this number, they asked for the mr or mrs.  There were alot of voices in the background.  When I said they weren't home and asked who it was, the guy hung up on me.
