I'm not necessarily getting more calls, but I'm not getting any fewer either. I signed up about three months ago so there's been plenty of time to get put on the list.

I was dubious about this whole deal to start with. The whole thing smacked of being just a way for telemarketers to verify phone numbers, similar to the way spammers use "Unsubscribe" as a way to verify e-mall addresses. And to put Bell in charge of the list strikes me as a bit of a conflict of interest and akin to putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

There aren't a lot of constants in life, but I've found that scum will be scum is one of them. So I'm not really surprised the Do Not Call List isn't working and telemarketing scumbugs are disregarding it.
