okay. we've been on the Do Not Call register since last november, and since then we've had two phone calls from the same telemarketing company. the first one i'm letting slide because it was only just around the minumum 30 day period the register says it should take for the telemarketing company to check their list with the registers. however, the second one was this evening! i've noted the time and date, and intend to continue to do so should they continue to call our number, but shouldn't they have updated their list by now? isn't it ilegal for them to call me once my number is confirmed on the register? you don't think i'm being unreasonable in my thinking do you? i'm sick of being called by some woman call Panjeerabi* from Mumbai wanting to hook me up with a new mobile bloody phone!

til next....
~Kits~ (mind, i'm still waiting for my current mobile to be repaired, but that's a whole OTHER story!)

Unfortunately being on the 'Do Not Call' register does not gaurantee that you will not receive telemarketing calls.

The 'Do Not Call' register is only for complying members of the Australian Direct Marketing Association (ADMA). Any telemarketing company not registered with the agency does not have to comply with the register.

Whilst the idea of the 'Do Not Call' register is a good one, it isn't fool proof to stop at least one avenue of spam in our lives.
