| [TekTalk] Getting a lot of marketing calls.... Hi there
Since signing up to TekTalk... I've been getting a lot of marketing calls/ BS numbers .. at least twice a day on average....
I came over from Rogers Home Phone and it was't this much at all.
Is this due to the number being a VOIP number now??..
I know there it a call reject feature with Tektalk.. I've been using that for all of these numbers so far..
Thanks

| I also switched from Rogers to Tek about 6 months ago. I get very few bs calls and like you use the reject feature. Did you port your number over or did you get a new number. There is one company that was calling here multiple times in a week. Now with there number on the reject list i do not hear it ring. |

| I ported my number over from Rogers.
I always do a search of numbers I don't recognize and determine to add them to the reject list or not. But still.. I get weird numbers at least twice a day since switching over to Tektalk.
But so far, TekTalk has been working great. |

If you ported your number over and didn't get them that much before; someone could have sold your number. |

I recently switched from a Bell landline to voip.ms and get no marketing calls whereas I was getting a constant barrage before. Of course, I decided not to port my number of twenty-some years and just get a new number, kind of hitting the reset switch on life. I figure many entities that require your number (banks, the doctor, dentist, vet, deliveries, what have you) are misusing the info. For an extra buck a month, I just bought two telephone numbers: the private and carefully released one that rings in the house and another that I give out that goes directly to voicemail that I may or may not ignore. So far, it's almost like going off grid and home is much quieter. |
