I am getting fed-up by getting marketing calls at all odd hours also on my Res. line phone, can anyone guide me how to use the function of *44
Thank-you!
 
TH,

Try putting your numbers on Canadian Do not Call list. Some say it does not work or you might get more calls but it worked for me.

Specially since now if I get any calls, I get their number, name and complain right away.

Good luck.

I am on the list and it has been great in almost eliminating the calls . Certain businesses like newspapers are exempt so when you talk to them just tell them to remove your number from their list .
 
A while after the do not call list was started there was a story about how it helps those buying lists know which numbers are real - on the list meant more likely to be real. Also they got cell #'s too.

Worked for the most part but those ones from out of country area codes are annoying. Esp. the one offering low credit rates (I told them to call me back when it's less than 0).

It worked for me for the most part other than the off-shore fark'n calls and i think I'll start keeping a whistle by the phone for them or maybe an air horn
:D​

Thanks to each and everyone who sent their advises, i have registered my landline # with CRTC Do Not Call List, and it would give me some relief after expiry of 31 days from today w.e.f. 09, Dec, 2009:)
Thanking you, Incanticpation.
 
The "Do Not Call List" has reduced calls by at least 90%.
I have a Call Display and NEVER answer a phone number I do not recognize, NEVER. I also turn the ringer off on my phone at 7pm and calls go to voice mail.
My problem with unwanted marketing calls is over
 
You should not be receiving any tele-marketing calls after 9PM at night.
