OT: Bell Mobility spam (not SMS) from 416-780-8411 & 8483 & 8485 anyone?

[Kush]

There was a talk of Canada putting in place a "do not solicit registry 
of phone numbers". I will ask around the megacity-toronto yahoogroup of 
anybody who knows about handling this matter. Bell canada/bell mobility 
will then have to ensure that those who do not want to be disturbed by 
spam callers actually do not get called or disturbed.
