I have Bell Canada's "Ident-a-call" on my home phone line, it gives you a 2nd number that rings on your primary line, but with a different ring pattern ("first" line gives normal ring, "2nd" line gives "ring-ring" like the British). ?I let my "published" or first line be my fax machine, and the 2nd line be my voice number, keeps lots of telemarketers a bay :-)  Also lets you have a "fax line" and a "voice line" without having to pay for 2 phone lines, with the benefit that your voice line is unlisted (at no additional cost) and when you call out, the "first" number is the one that shows, so if companies use the line "you called us, you're an existing customer so we're exempt from Do Not Call lists" it doesn't interrupt your dinner :-)This number just called in on my first (fax) number.

Thats a bit much to set up.

same thing happened to me except that the message  was  in Russian. My second name is RussianI don't know where they got my info . My phone  # is unlisted and it's a company phone. I could  tell that the person who left a message had a really good Russian, but also  I could tell he was not native Russian.This slight accent can be detected only by native speaker. Which is I am. So those telemarketers when to extent to find a solicitors with the knowledge of foreign languages. LOL I am not picking up. I need to find out how to block certain  numbers.

Health Canada doing research on eating out. They left a message on my machine telling me to call back and gave me a case number. Called again today since I didn't return call yesterday. No time fr surveys. I'm blocking them.

I am receiving a call from them twice today. I am loving my new Panasonic  phone's call blocking feature - one ring only. Life is goot!

A man called from (613) 688-6051 and said he was from Health Canada doing a survey on chronic diseases.
