National Do Not Call List

[kenny]

The National Do Not Call list website and toll free numbers went live this morning for Canadians to register their phone numbers.

Website:
https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca

Toll Free:
1-866-580-3625

Toll Free (hearing impaired):
1-888-362-5889

I just tried to register my numbers, but the website is too busy and is failing when submitting the form. I'm tempted to call the hearing impaired phone line as that one shouldn't be too busy.

[93accord]

the site is down right now :dunno: , i'll try the number.

they probably have one shitty webserver running iis 5.0 on a Pentium 4 PC. hahaha

And everyone on beyond is trying to register at the same time lol. Actually, everyone in the entire frickin country is trying to register at the same time.

[finboy]

gotta get in on this, i HATE telemarketers :banghead:

[Crymson]

Yah, but 90% of the telemarketers who call you, are EXCLUDED from honouring from the list.

Charties -- excluded,
pollsters -- excluded,
newspapers -- excluded,
anyone you've done business with the the last 18 months -- excluded.

Rarely do i actually get cold called by someone who is not in one of these categories.

[Canmorite]

What I do is bookmark Rick Roll or Bel Air theme song, and whenever I get a telemarketer, I simply bring up the bookmark (Youtube) and blast it through the phone.

Way more fun then simply blocking them.

[legendboy]

i have been waiting 6 months for this

[spikerS]

i so want to do the Tom Mabe skit on one of these guys.

I was reading about this at work. Sucks for marketers. There is a pretty hefty fine if they disobey :P

[LadyLuck]

worked for me

[nbaker00]

It's about TIME!!!!

[shaggin]

It's finally here, I registered today but went back to enter my parents information but apparently the amount of traffic caused the server to crash.

They are fixing it as we speak.... I think everyone should be on this list f#$# telemarketers...

[GoChris]

Just registered! :thumbsup:

[TC2002]

Registered!

[spikerS]

well, i managed to get 1 of my numbers registered, but then the site went down again...

[Xtrema]

Exceptions to the list include calls from charities, political parties, polling companies, newspapers selling subscriptions, and organizations with which the consumer has an existing business relationship.

ie, the list is FUCKING useless.

I don't get telemarketers, I always get banks, Rogers, and charities and the PC party and this list does nothing for me.

[Mibz]

Aw man, I didn't think polling companies were excluded. That makes this useless to me as well.

[rony_espana]

sweet thanks, I've been wanting to put my # on but couldn't find the page this morning. :thumbsup:

[adidas]

ah it cant do it right now...will try again later

This is the government we are talking about. They have the best of everything even when they don't need it. Excluding military, haha.
