It just dawned on me that since I switched to Bell Aliant from Eastlink my nuisance calls have multiplied greatly. I think they might be selling our phone numbers. They call from this number and never leave a message. Of course I don't answer calls that look like they will be a nuisance but that's not the point. Eastlink has a block calls list where you can add 12 phone numbers that you don't want to call you. I called Bell to see if they have the same and they only offer it in Nova Scotia. They said we WON'T be getting that option in PEI, ever. I have to say that is reason enough there to switch back to Eastlink. In the meantime I am going to do my own little fix. Someone on one of these forums said they got a whistle and they blow it into the phone whenever they get one of these calls. I went to Dollarama and bought a $1.50 recorder. If you separate the two pieces, and blow into the mouthpiece it gives the shrillest, loudest whistle you could ever imagine. That's my plan for now. It may not stop the calls but it will give me GREAT satisfaction. If that doesn't work I plan to download the sound of a fax machine and play it every time I get a call. Problem solved? I'll let you know!
I just called them and found out they are Bell Aliant phoning with their security thing, offering a free home consultation. I think its something like $50 a month or something like that. They probably have different packages starting with a rinky dink dart gun all the way up to the full security package with keypad/code etc. If you take the consultation, by the time they are finished scaring you with potential scenarios, they will probably be able to sell you their full, most expensive package.
I've started a new campaign....Only really works if you have caller ID. These companies don't pay anything if no one picks up but they HAVE to pay for calls that are using long distance time. I answer the phone but do NOT say "Hello", in fact I don't say ANYTHING!!. ("Saying "Hello" triggers their computer to click on an annoying call center!!) After about 30 seconds, it disconnects, but it has used 30 seconds of THEIR long distance time without receiving any money for whatever they're selling. If we all did this, they would be paying out a LOT in long distance fees. If I have so free time on my hands, I will engage the person on the other end for as long as I want and then say something like...."Oh MY GOD, my dog just threw up all over my supper...(dinner)...(lunch). Gotta go!!" This only works if you can resist ALL of their sales pressures!!!!Good Luck
Yeah tried that and they call back even more. Every half hour actually until I just didn't pick up. Then it went back to one a day. They apparently want to SELL you a pair of FREE tickets on some cruise line. Call them back it's funny. They will tell you how long it takes to get on the do not call list.
I got a call from that number today and I am with Eastlink not Bell. I didn't answer it. If anyone does get calls from this number do what my dad use to do...blow a referee's whistle as loud as you can into the phone. He stopped getting harassing phone calls after he started to do this. Genius!
Hi I am with East link and I get a call from this # every day I don't answer it and they don't leave a message I did answer it once it was dead air but they keep calling every day I wish I could get them to stop does blocking the # work because I think I might call East Link to see if I can
