My tips from the earlier post come from experience as a telemarketer.
We were given a lecture in September before our group went online, about the
new laws that were put into place in August.
It concerned an update on calling hours and call handling procedure related
to the new laws, which apply NATIONWIDE.
So if you get a telemarketer calling you outside hours and not taking notice
of your request for privacy, you can get them prosecute - but get the name
of the call centre first if you can before the caller hangs up.
i wouldn't be surpised if an outgoing calls list is on file for reference in
case there is a dispute of some sort.

I take no credit for the following- I have learned it from Telstra:

My phone rings
Me:Hallo
Telemarketeer: Bla bla...
Me: Allow him (her) no more than 5sec then I politely say "Your call is
important to me. Please hold the line".
After 10-15sec I say "Your call has progressed- please hold the line".

No telemarketeer lasted more than 30 sec- for reason unknown to me yet they
just hang up on me!
Oh- well...

Hardly surprising given that only brain dead apes

Easy to claim. Pity you cant actually list the
law that says anything like you claim they do.

Easy to claim. Cite the law that says anything
like that. You cant, it doesnt exist.

Unlikely they bother with calls that go nowhere.

Really? They must be on a commission-only basis. I lasted ten minutes once,
during which time I went to the bathroom and got another cup of tea.
At about the ten minute mark the man asked me incredulously if I was still
there. I asked him if HE was there, equally incredulously. He hung up.

Ooh I like that one, particularly as you often get these phone calls which
start off with 'please hold the line, we're connecting a call for you'...

Do telemarketers normally ring up mobile phones? I had a telemarketer
call me the other day, but I didn't see any reason to care as they were
paying for the call. Also, the only way that I imagine that they could
have got my number is some automatic generation of phone numbers, but I
don't see how it would be economical with mobile phones. When I used
to have a landline phone I used to just set a short call ring before it
went to Messagebank, and that stopped all the telemarketers; but,
unlike the case with most mobile phone providers, the landline
Voicemail was free, so it did not matter -- and with Virgin Mobile the
voicemail is free, so it doesn't matter if telemarketers call up.

Telemarketers can call you on your mobile : (1) if your mobile is listed in
the white or yellow pages and (2) if you have left your number with a
charity/sales/marketing company that sell car raffle tickets in shopping
centres is one example, (3) and most likely if you have an mobile account
with one of the telcos and they get a mob like FoneZone to call you to
upgrade your plan, etc.

Telemarketers can call you on your mobile alright.

Gee Rod, it's a shame that you were not at the meeting that day. You
would've learnt something.
We were told at the time it was about new laws being brought in nationwide
from the end of August. More likely it was new regulations and codes of
practice to be followed in line with the various state and federal laws
related to telemarketing.
What we were told about particular calling hours applied to our office (or
even section) and that that the same call conduct rules was going nationwide
(all telemarketing heeding consumers' requests for privacy, etc)
National Regulations stipulate hours of calling between 8am and 9pm except
Sundays and Public Holidays (www.consumer.gov.au).
However, depending on the target of the campaign itself, these may change to
suit local conditions ie, NSW 9am-8pm 7 days, QLD, 9am-9pm everyday and so
on.
At the lecture we were not given the various Fair Trading Acts from every
State to read, that would impossible for us, being the brain dead apes of
telemarketing. Some of us with masters degrees in various disciplines just
wouldn't understand it all. We only had to know the basics.
The major points in the lecture centred round: hours, 9am-8pm m-f , 10am-3pm
sat. no sundays and public holidays(other places will differ for sure), and
what consumer rights that must be adhered to within a call.

Have a nice day Rod.
Who knows I may have even spoken to you already and think you're a nice
person.

Never been stupid enough to need such a shit of a 'job', thanks.

Nope, I would have pinned that fool to the wall and demanded
it list the 'new laws' that say anything like what it claimed.

And you were so stupid that you didnt even
ask for evidence that that claim was correct.

Nope, that hasnt happened either.

Nothing like you originally claimed, fool.

And its far from clear if whoever was attempting to educate
you apes actually said anything like you claim was said.

Bet it actually said that thats what that particular telemarketing
operation chooses to do and you completely mangled some
other comment about laws into what you pig ignorantly claimed.

> What we were told about particular calling hours applied to our office
> (or even section) and that that the same call conduct rules was going

Pity you cant actually list any 'new law' that says
anything like what you pig ignorantly claimed on that
"heeding consumers' requests for privacy" particularly.

> National Regulations stipulate hours of calling between 8am and
> 9pm except Sundays and Public Holidays (www.consumer.gov.au).

Lie. Thats not a 'national regulations' and thats
a completely useless url on that particular claim too.

And the hours are only a tiny subset of your original pig ignorant claim
anyway and those hours aint anything new, and didnt start in August either.

And a MODEL CODE is nothing even remotely
resembling anything like NATIONAL LAWS.

No surprise that the best you can manage is telemarketing ape.

Soorree, nothing even remotely resembling
anything like NATIONAL LAWS, ape.

Pity they dont say anything like you claim and even someone
as stupid as you should be able to grasp that they aint
NATIONAL LAWS anyway if someone was actually stupid
enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane.

Clearly cant even manage those. THERE ARE
NO NATIONAL LAWS STARTING IN AUGUST
THAT SAY ANYTHING LIKE WHAT YOU CLAIM.

I don't think you are correct about there being a law, this is part of
the current government's obsession with self regulation and there are
merely a code of practice provided by their peak body the ADMA.

Basically they can call from 8am to 9pm 362 days of the year and apart
from getting your number on their "do not call list" and ensuring that
you tell the rest you want your name taken off their list there is
little you can do about it.

A consumer can take action against nuisance telemarketers. the various state
governments consumers' websites give plenty of advice about it.
the office i worked for set their calling hours well inside the guidlines to
avoid trouble.

I can't recall a time where Rod has ever started a thread. He always
replies.
Obviously the man has never had an original thought in his life.

As I don't work work in telemarketing now, I don't care where the
telemarketing business is based.
As in the earlier post Rod, you only respond. you never initiate posts. You
don't have an original thought.
Press the "New Post" button for change and let us all see what makes you
tick.
If you can't, then you must be the gutless type that can't take any
criticism but can only dish it out, mostly in a vile, puerile form.
Have a nice day.
