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 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.

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.

I can't believe some of you. Big brothers renew crew calls me all the time looking for donations, it's always an automated message. The messages that I get left always have a bit a a delay in them from the time that the phone answers till the time that the message starts.
Have you people ever thought that this is a volunteer organization with limited funds so maybe that is why they don't have the latest and greatest telemarketing equipment. Maybe Big Brothers likes to spend their money on the kids and not telemarketers! Besides they are only looking for your used and unwanted clothing and household items.

Have a heart people, many of these children have to go without.  Growing up on of my very good friends was a little brother, and when he got to old he helped out anyway he could. I try to give whenever I can, to help support the kids.

They gather lots and lots of used clothing and other things that they then load into overseas containers and sell to places like China, India and so on.

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.
