| Annoying 1-800 number
So for the past 2 weeks I have had this number 1 800 336 1352 call me once or twice every day. I always miss it since I am at work but today I finally got around to actually getting the call. I googled the number and other forums say that its a telemarketer or something.
Now my question is how the hell do I get it to stop calling me because it's starting to get rreally annoying. I just got this number too.

It's very likely that it's Rogers/Fido calling from Calgary regarding your account....try calling that number back~

if it's not automated and they ask you if you wanna subscribe to some service etc. just pick up and say no? that way, they'll mark down not to waste resources and call u again I'm guessing.
If it's one of those bullshit automated ones though, ur screwed :-s

Are you signed up to a do not call list? and if yes, did you receive these sorts of calls prior.
I never had telemarketers call my cell but ever since I signed up to the DNC list, I started getting calls.

I don't answer unrecognized numbers. If it's important, they'll leave a message. If it's a wrong number, they'll know when they get my voice mail.
