Cell phone, home line and business. Now its close to one a day. Trying to get off thier list has been futile. I am on the DNCL. I have made complaints on thier web and on the phone. I have informed the CRTC on the web and by phone. The numbers rotate so I can't block them. Sometimes a number shows up and sometimes it doesn't. At the end of thier message it always says that this is my final notice..but never is. CARD HOLDER SERVICES

The first thing I hear is a ship's horn and then the automated pitch. I get these calls on my land line and my cell day and night. They mask their number. Even the duct/window cleaner who calls me 3 times a week laughed when I said I was on the do not call list and would report him. Now they say they're going to fix it. How? It's a little late don't you think. Thank you very much CRTC. Every day I get a call from some cruise scam. The first thing I hear is a ship’s horn and then the automated pitch.

(of course at our cost!) It wasn't until we seriously threatened with a law suit, did they finally decide to put us on the no call list. I still get calls, of course ones that I cannot call back to (long distance) etc. If one reads the privacy terms of agreement with Telus, they do sell their info to other so called Telecommunications companies etc., but of course cover their behind with all the legal backup as stated. If you even read the service terms of agreement, TELUS states they will NOT be held accountable of ANYTHING even if its their fault, that YOU ARE still responsible no matter what is the service problem. HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW THIS ABOUT TELUS? Are the other phone companies just as corupt or worse? CRTC better pull up their socks too! The future is NOT friendy! PLEASE STAND UP CANADIANS, our rights are further eroding! We complained about the tons of illegal calls and Telus didn’t want to do anything about it other than for us to change our phone number.
