Help with getting other telephone company to leave me alone?

johnm99
I've been around

Need some help as I'm not sure were to go at this point.

 

How do you get a competing company to leave you alone?

Bell has been a pain for the last 6 months constantly cold calling me.

80% of the blocked numbers in my phone at this point are from them.

 

I've told them to "leave me alone", "I'm happy with my current provider", "Do not call this number and take it off your list", ect.. At this point the moment I hear "from Bell" I hang up and block the number.

 

Any ideas or information regarding how to get them to stop?

I'm not gonna scream at the caller as its not gonna accomplish anything.

about half of the calls you are receiving from "Bell" might actually be scammers posing as Bell to steal your information, these people are overseas and just calling numbers given to them on a list, they have no idea if your actually using bell or another provider. There is absolutely nothing you can do other than blocking the number which is ineffective as we all know they call back from a completely different number.  sorry no solution for this as it happens to everyone.

 

Another thing, if it is indeed Bell calling you, you can call bell on their official number and place yourself on the internal do not call list directly with Bell,   asking the cold calling agents to put you on the list might not work they might not have access to the official do not call list, but if YOU call bell directly, they HAVTO honor your do not contact request. tell them to stop calling you and it will work, they will even stop mailing you junk mail too if you ask.
