RE: Late to the Scam Party. Comedy Open Mic 32
Blocking the number sounds handy. I wouldn't know how to. I did put myself on the 'don't call' list when I got sick of Telstra constantly calling to get me to upgrade (code for "we want more money from you"). I ended up letting rip at the woman last time and she told me that the list would be the only way to stop my name coming up in their system.

My only phone is a mobile, so it's easy to block the numbers from the call log section.
Do Not Call register only affects Australian businesses with whom you don't have an existing relationship; so if you have a service with Telstra, Telstra can call you, whether you're on the register or not. They do have an option to opt you out of marketing calls and emails, but you need to call specifically to request it.
That's interesting, because I specifically asked them several times to stop calling for sales related things and they continued to do so because I am a customer. They didn't stop until I put myself on the don't call register.
