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.

I too have had calls from this number, however I'm not so sure it is big brothers their number is listed (see below)http://www.google.ca/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy ... iw=1024&bih=443

Thanks for the great info folks and the like.....I never like answering phone numbers I do NOT recognize.
It's probably an old robo-phone call out system they use and it buggers up once in a while. It was cool to be able to google the number and find out what was up with that call I just got. Isn't technology great, if we make it past 2012 we should see some AMAZING toys coming our way, maybe BB will upgrade their hardware/software from the 1980's to the ' 90's.

This supposedly is their call centre and used to come up as "Big Brothers" on the call display.  Now it comes up as Brit. Columbia, guess more people actually pick up now?  Never have made a donation as our stuff goes to the SPCA store and getting pretty tired of them calling.

It's big brothers looking for donations

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

Wow guys calm down. Big Brothers is a CHARITY.  Non-profit. They help kids in your community without a positive influence in their life get a menor. They don't ask for money, they ask for used clothing or small household items that you don't need anymore. What you DONATE to them gets sold to Value Village and proceeds from that go towards their many mentoring programs. They aren't forcing you to donate anything. You say no, they say thanks for your time. 30 seconds tops. Nobody spends time with their family anyways. You spend dinner time in front of the tv texting and not talking with each other. Why do you say it's interrupting family time? They don't have the funds to upgrade their system because the proceeds they get go into their mentoring programs and fundraisers, which costs money. If you don't want to be called, ask to be taken off the list. If they call back, call them back. It's a legit number. Or just ignore the calls, they leave a message. You're the one answering the phone. What a bunch of hypochondriacts.
