I dont answer calls I dont know if anyone wants to get in touch with me they'll leave a message. But these pests have been ringin me about 5 times a day for 3 days. did a google search and apparently they are a dodgy mobile company http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...=cr%3DcountryAU

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

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.

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.
