could be telus's own people marketing you, if that was the case then ya they can stop it easily, but since this company mentioned in the article, has no affiliation with rogers, they just happened to call into the voicemail deposit number and dial random sequence numbers hoping to find mailboxes to depost the messages into. how do u stop that? you have to find out which numbers theyre calling from, and identify them at the linecard level or the customers have to actually be proactive instead of doing nothing and write complaints letters to the CRTC/BBB about such companies and then they will see this bothers the people then they will take active measures to not allow it/make it illegal. but if no one does anything about it, or complains to the wrong people, then nothing will get done. I've done my part, wrote to the CRTC / Industry Canada, omplain to the BBB, wrote to Rogers/Fido office of the president, as well I wrote directly to the company who was mentioned in the voicemail message in my phone.
