Having read the TPS site info again, I realise why I'm still getting these calls even though registered.

The callers always start off by saying that they're not selling anything, just carrying out market research. This must be the loophole that lets them through.

I was surprised that calls from political parties were also restricted, as we had an absolute stream of them during a recent by-election. Presumably these were also going under the heading of research rather than sales or marketing, but this seems a very narrow distinction.
