They appeared on my mofo phone bill as well so I called up telstra and they said they couldnt tell me who it was and couldnt stop it but they would stop charging me for it..switched to iinet for my home phone same # and it stopped for a year but has now started again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I work with put me onto it. Not 100% sure if it works as I work FIFO but haven't got a telemarketer call yet on my week off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even report telemarketing companies that continue to ring even though you have registered.The number of crap calls to my home has dropped significantly.
