Some guy called saying to press 1 to receive my complimentary gift.  I hit 1 to tell the idiot to "$#%@" off.  Then there was dead air.  About 5 seconds later my doorbell rings, I don't answer because I was just about to step into the shower, then the doorbell rings again followed by a series of knocks on the door.What are these idiots doing, standing outside my door and if I pressed any number they would have rang my doorbell?  Crafty Bastards!!!!

Unknown caller

Does anybody have any idea of how to get rid of unsolicited calls once and for all.

Lately I don't clear up my messages so there is no room in the voice mailbox for new messages, or I just deactivate the mailbox, I have call display, I later decide who I will back.

Sometimes I also set the mail box to zero rings and then the phone goes automatically to my voicemail which announces to the caller that the mailbox belonging to ---- is full, please try again later.

I'm having so much fun without a phone, maybe we can go back to actually talking to our friends in person and screw all the technology that seems to just brings us more problems.

What do you think? Maybe then the phone companies would really sells us features that really worked and they wouldn't sell our numbers?

same problem same technics but they knew who i am i guess or maybe this number is usually used for scams. and they also call my friend to montreal by this number. i think it's simply hackers who gots nothin to do. but they can see the names of our numbers i guess so they got a little idea about us before calling.

We have been called by this company i can not find anything on it except

-landline phone number (416) 646-3601
-registerd with allstream (that is the carrier )
and nothing else .... i got silence and listend to then it hung up and noting has called back yet thankfully HOWEVER shortly afterwards i recived a call from telus almost immideatly from  hanging up

do not know if it is related but who knows .

They just called me, put me on hold so I hung up, then called back from a blocked number.  Said she was doing a survey for a college project in marketing.  Really looking to see if our company wants to buy promotional products.
