Bought a phone that blocks up to 30 numbers but you can still check on who called. The only problem is that the phone still rings once & then stops but these *(*&^& still call 6 -9 times a day everday! Think they would learn. Guess they just have to dial a number to get paid.

These people are Frigging idiots,,, Even when you tell them to "piss the F off!!!!" they continue to call & call & call. I have been polite & asked them not to call but HA Ha Ha they just continue. And the previous comments are correct as we have added our number to the DNC list years & years ago & we still get telemarketing calls every day plus!!!!!!!!! Some time they start at 7am & continue until 9pm. Time to consider another alternative!!! Oh & we live Calgary & still get hasseled every day to "Buy" the paper,,Calgary Herald. The Calgary Sun is a better paper by far & we do not subscribe to that one either!!!

quit calling----very annoying

Hi Everyone - This number does belong to a third party call center selling Calgary Herald subscriptions. Jeremy above is correct that newspapers are exempt from the National DNC list. However, since its implementation, the Herald has voluntarily subscribed. I can't deny that we use telemarketing to sell subscriptions, but I can promise we make every attempt to be respectful of your DNC requests.

If you subscribe the National DNC list, continue to receive calls after making a request with the sales rep, or are receiving multiple calls and want your number put on our internal DNC list without having to speak anyone, send me an email and I will take care of it for you.

I got one of these calls with no-one there.  When I called back to the caller ID, I got an automated response that "you have reached IV customer service.  You received a promotional call from Calgary Herald ..." where I hung up.I'm in Calgary, and this newspaper is the big local paper.  But the caller ID was Toronto- based.  So my local paper is hiring a promotional company to p****off their potential customers

These idiots have called me twice already today, no message. I'm glad to see the government's no-call list allows newspapers to carry on bothering people, even if they've gone to the effort of contacting the CRTC to say that they don't wish to be bothered by telemarketers.Close the loophole Harper - else people are going to be creating a do not vote list with your name in the number one spot.

The same company started to call me 3 days ago, exactly since I started a conversation with John Beck's which I found is a SCAM company. Probably they sold them out my number.Same behaviour. Tried to call back - nothing.Is there some way to stop them calling? Is there anybody protecting consumersfrom this?

Answered and nobody there. Very annoying.  This is about the 6th call from this number this week.

About a month ago I actually got to talk to someone when they called. Said they were from Calgary Herald I told them the Herald charged me for 3 months of papers and never delivered even one. I then asked to be put on their DNC list. just got a call again from them today.

Not pleased. will be calling the Herald directly.

This number has called me six times in the past three days (I've never answered). I've tried to call the number back, but it doesn't work. I shall answer it and give any poor soul on the other end a considerate amount of vitriol!
