Canadian Do Not Call Registry- Now Accepting Sign-ups

[mydoglugnut]

The site worked for me for filling out the form, you might want to try again. However, if you want a list of the companies, that is not working at all.

My question is, why does it say that is is good for 3 years? Why not indefinitely? Anyone know?

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that starting tomorrow (Sept 30. 2008) Canadians can register for the national "do not call list", similar to the one implemented in the states. So anyone who gets pesky telemarketing calls at dinner time, this is a great opportunity to put a stop to it.

Here is the website: www.LNNTE-DNCL.gc.ca

Registration starts tomorrow, so make sure to check the site then to add your name.

Edit: Here's an article about it from MSN

CMA is a private trade association funded by its members. We offer the Do Not Contact Service free of charge to consumers. If you wish to have your name removed from new contact lists acquired by our members, please follow the registration instructions.
The Do Not Contact Service enables individuals to reduce the number of marketing offers they receive by mail, telephone and fax. Consumers register to have their names removed from marketing lists held by members of the Canadian Marketing Association.
PLEASE NOTE: The Canadian Radio-television and Television Commission has announced that the government-run National Do Not Call List will be up and running on Sept. 30, 2008. At that time, consumers will need to register their telephone number with this program as the Canadian Marketing Association will begin to phase out its telephone suppression list. Consumers will continue to be able to register with the Association’s Do Not Contact service to reduce addressed advertising mail offers. More information on the CRTC’s National Do Not Call List can be found on their website.

Confirmation Required

Please correct the following errors:

• We are experiencing a temporary technical problem. Please call one of the numbers below for registration, or try again later.

...you can call the National DNCL Service Line to register your number by phone at 1-866-580-DNCL (1-866-580-3625) or by TTY at 1-888-DNCL TTY (1-888-362-5889). You must be calling from the number you wish to register

This is from their website after I put in my phone number. A confirmation code did not appear but this stuff did.

Too many hits I guess.

Well it looks like they won't prevent anyone who you have had any dealings with in the past from calling you. So your bank, your car dealership, your telephone company, your cable company, those clothing soliciters you have donated to before, any charity you have donated to....etc will all STILL be able to call. I don't know about anyone else, but the majority of the calls I get are from these companies.

So I don't know how good this will be for me. I will register although I am seriously considering getting rid of my home phone anyway. Everyone in my family own cellphones and the extra bill just to recieve the occasional home phone call from my mom simply is not worth the $65.
