Re: Nuisance calls
I stand corrected - My understanding is/was that it is unlawful to call numbers registered on the TPS only because its considered a centralised opt out system under this. Basically a simplified way of letting individual companies know you dont want their calls without having to tell them all.

Still seems pointless - We all still get these calls and
