Yet another violator of the Do-Not-Call list. Had them already marked-down on my own Do-Not-Pick-Up-The-Phone-List, which I keep next to my phone (with 51 numbers in two months). One of these days the list will go to the CRTC for punitive action.

They WASTE people's time with those bullsh*t calls......

I received several calls from that number. After I found that the area code 604 corresponds to the Vancouver area, I decided to call back. It was a long distance call for me, since I am from Quebec. Their system answers and offers us to have our number removed from the list. Listen carefully and enter your phone number. I did this. It takes 2 business days for it to be effective. Since I just did it, I don't yet know wether it might finally take longer. I hope not!...

Like many people wrote, they never leave a message and even if I answered (for I did, once, hoping to ask that my name be removed from their list), nobody answers. I suppose it takes several seconds for their system of automatic calls to transmit the signal that somebody answered, after what a person finally speaks to you. Therefore, we hang up before anybody speaks to us. As far as I am concerned, since I never spoke to anyone, I don't know wether they are courteous or not... But I sure will be glad when they stop calling!!!...

I've been called two days in a row so far on my cell (which is on the Do-Not-Call list). I did not answer and no one left a message.

OMG  this number is now being used for Gregor Robertson.  I was so mad.  I got 6 calls from this number in the last 10 days, 6 of them hang ups.  I told them to take me off their list.  They have already called and gotten through at least 2 times.  I do not consider this campaigning I consider it harassment.  I think I told them to take me off their list before.  If they call again I am calling the media and city hall!!!!  I asked My husband to block this number but Telus would not saying that this number is used by many.

I did a reverse look up on the number and found out it was a telemarketer or someone wanting to do a poll.

Strategic Communications (polling)

I got a message from this number. It was my "union president" calling (recorded message) regarding the municipal election coming up this weekend in Vancouver.

Obviously a multipurpose telemarketing number.  This time for me it left a message from Gregor Robertson's campaign.

Rec'd call a few minutes ago.  I said hello and then the caller started speaking in Mandarin.  I listened for about 10 seconds, not sure if it was a recording, and finally said 'hello? excuse me'.  The caller then spoke in very broken english and said he was conducting some sort of survey and if I had time to take it.  I informed him I did not, and hung up.
