Phone companies are piranhas in today’s consumer markets. Buying a mobile phone with or without a contract can be confusing and expensive. But in the event that you need an “out”, how do you leave your current mobile phone provider??

The first thought on many people's minds when they hear “recording a telephone call”, is about privacy. Thinking that the recording is being done by the government in order to monitor terrorism and potential national threats, is not unreasonable.

The Annoying calls.... When will they end? And What is this NO-CALL LIST?

After receiving 5 phone calls, and 3 visits to the door last night I decided that it is time to do something about it.

I'm over receiving phone calls about "investment seminars". When told by an AUTOMATED MACHINE that I am being placed in a queue because "I am a valued client" has also lost me.

I'd rather get spammed, at least I can delete it!

I think i'm a pretty reasonable guy at most times and usually one Marketing phone call a week as I used to receive and one visit to the door every few weeks I could live with. Not that I ever bought anything of these guys except a Painting from an Artist.

So I decided to track down this illusive "Consumer Do Not Contact Opt Out Services" that is supposively provided by the "Australian Direct Marketing Association" (ADMA) to see if I could get myself off these lists.
