I signed up with them too and still get them, not only Asians but machines now...I unplug the phone if its a machine as it wont go off by simply hanging up. If its a person - I ask them which company they are from then I tell them I am on the do not call register and I am reporting them - they soon hang up then!!!

Just tell them you are going to get the 'householder' and leave them on hold until they get fed up

We signed up on the donotcall thing and it's really cut down the number of annoying calls we get. We still get the sales calls from Bigpond which is a PITA. And I occasionally get calls from the Regional Fire Service about their raffles and stuff - I'm normally fairly polite to them and just tend to point out that they've called in the middle of the day, on a working day, and I'm at home... and tell them that, because of that, I have no money

Got one from Telstra a couple of years ago - told them I used VOIP and they were off like a shot.
