Very OT - question for my fellow Aussies

The "Do Not Call" Register opened today. Supposedly you can
register online to exclude your phone number from all those
annoying telemarketing lists.

Yippee!!

Of course (and most unfortunately) the DNC will not apply to
charities/educational facilities(?)/political candidates -
but it's a start!!

However . . . . . . does anyone know where the register is?
I can't find it or a link to it on any of the quoted sites.

There is one finally coming to Canada too! From what I read it is to be
launched late 2007.

I got on the register on my second attempt today. Not before time,
there had been a ph no. to call a few years ago but it was 'industry
regulated' and therefore not adhered to for long.
The only call unsolicited that I want is the lottery co. calling
saying " you have won...." grin

Don't get carried away - have you seen the list of calls
that are "exempt" from this listing? rofl

Charities, educational (?), political - I wouldn't mind
blocking those calls too but it is not an option YET!
Maybe if enough subscribers yell for it, one day . . . . . .

That is because the site crashed about 5pm today. Too many trying to
register at the same time.

telemarketing call from India )

Hi Cheryl and all,

Here is another website you can register for blocking you telephone number:

http://www.adma.com.au/

I have been in it for nearly 6 months and it works 99% of the time - the
other 1% probably are those companies who already have my number for
whatever reason.

I went straight to check this out, Di. Unfortunately they are no longer
accepting registrations, as the new govt one has opened. Also, if you're
already registered, you need to sign up on the new one as the ADMA one will
only last till May. It's not clear whether that's the beginning or end of
May, mind you. Here's the info:
http://www.adma.com.au/asp/index.asp?pgid=1999

I just signed onto the govt one with no problems.
