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.

It seems that it is one of those automated dialing services that check if phone numbers are active.I find this quite annoying, so I use a recorded tone of a number that is out of service. Some of these auto dialers recognize the tone, and mark your number as disconnected on their lists..Also an effective way of dealing with telemarketers.http://www.sorrygottago.com/SoundFiles/PhoneCo/disconnected.mp3

Recieved 2 calls while driving, ignored both of them. It's long distance so I'm not answering calls I don't recognize.

This number has called me 10 times over the last 5 days. I finally answered it today but there was no response. It called me again a few hours later.

These guys call me just about everyday. It's a telemarketing company selling the Calgary Herald.  I think I'll call the Herald and file a complaint.

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!

The IV Automated Customer Service line is open 9 a.m. to 9 pm EST. calling that number back will put you in touch with a rep, so they say. Ironically, the number is promoting circulation sales for the Calgary Herald, and I'm sure other papers and businesses. I've left a message with them, and you can also leave them one too...I'm going to follow up with this and I'll keep you posted.
