2009 shall be full of surprises and hassles, love and pain, and like the years before it, Telemarketing calls. Cell phone numbers shall now be open ground for telemarketing calls in Canada.
You'll be on the bus and with a *vibrate*
"Hello?"
"Yes this is Johnson from the Bureau of Deli Meats and we would like to offer to you a one time deal on express delivery of all your weekly meats. This is an excellent opportunity...."
Cell phones will start to receive sales calls and you will be charged for them depending on your plan, at the worst they'll take up valuable daytime minutes.
How does one stop this from happening? Well it's going to happen regardless. Best advice is to goto Canada's National Do Not Call list, https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/, and register your number.
It takes a minute of your time and blocks your number from most telemarketing companies for five years. You can register your number on the Do Not Call List online or by calling 1-866-580-3635 or 1-888-382-1222. You must call from the number you wish to be blocked.
Protect yourself and spread the word to all your friends and family so they don't get calls that waste their time and money.
