Received a call from the number around 4pm, Nov 4. Picked it up since the area code is local, I didn't even suspected it could be an automated call. I encourage everyone to go to the National Do-Not-Call List (https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng) and register a complaint. If enough people do this they should take a serious investigation.

another reason to get an android phone as opposed to blackberry or iphone. got call, went to my menu > options and added to my restricted list...never hear from them again...when a number calls it tells them "this number is no longer is service".
Another p.o.'d telecomm consumer
My call display shows this number with a "441" prefix, which is likely the country code. That would mean the call is originating in Bermuda. In turn, that means the calls are probably not subject to the DNC List rules. But is still p.'s me off!

Has anyone pressed "2" to be "removed from their list"? If so have you received any further calls at that number? It would be interesting to know if they respect their own do-not-call requests.They certainly have not registered with and filtered out numbers from the registry. They are in clear violation of the rules for "Automatic Dialing-Announcing Devices" which cannot be used for telemarketing:https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/nrt-ntr-eng#link04You are able to complain even if you are not on the do not call registry because this call was illegal to begin with.
