I let it go to message, and then played the message back. It is Big Brother's Clothing Donations. It just annoys me that they don't display their name when they call the house.

I believe they now call from their home phones which is why we don't see any name on caller display

Caller: Big Bro

It is annoying that despite telling them no men's stuff to donate,they keep calling almost everyday wtf.It is an east indian woman calls over&over does not listen

They keep calling my cell. I don't care if it is Big Bros, I don't want to be bothered by unwanted calls, PERIOD. Unsolicited calls make me NOT want to support your cause.

exact same circumstance... i pick up the phone,i know someone is there... and then i hear them hang up...

I donate to "Big Brothers too". They called, I picked up, no one was there. If the use manual staffing they should at least talk. It is a worthy cause, they should staff competent people!  How can I help if they don't communicate?

A lot of charities like BB have VOLunteers who call from their own personal home phones. They blocks their own number when doing the outbound calls.

They called and I picked up within 2-3 ring.No one answer the phone call and why would BB not have a listing in their name?My family had donated several large bag of clothing to them before when we moved to Burnaby from Vancouver but having these calls more than twice is anything but helpful to their charity work.

I have given to Big Brother previous but will give no longer because no one answers the phone when you lift up the receiver. A person would think thank anyone in their position looking for donations would bend over backwards to please, alas I have had to put a block on this number. Shame on you Big Brothers for annoying donators.

I got a call from them last night, 6:32pm 11 Oct 08.  I picked up and no answer.  It sounded like someone was on the line not the usual computerized telemarketer disconnect.  I hung up and no call back.

We give to Big Brothers so it must have been a mistake on their part.   Strange thing is I "reverse phone" Canada 411`d it.... and there is no listing.  You would think a charitable organization like that would have 1) listed as Big Bro on the call display and 2) listed on Canada 411.
