    Hi folks,ive been getting calls from companies like tele 2 etc etc for many months now trying to convince me to drop eircom.
    Nothing new there as most of my friends get these calls also.

    Just this morning i got a call from what sounded more like my local chinese takeaway lady claiming she was eircom rniging.
    She then went on to say that i spent x amount on my last bill and that was very high.
    It was obvious this was not eircom dissing their own costs etc.
    Just wondering if many more are getting similar calls and how legal it all is posing as eircom?
    If indeed as i suspect it is a rival company.
    Tbh i hung up as i hadnt time to listen

    I downloaded the CounterScript from here and I'm just waiting for the next telemarketer to call so that I can try it out.

    While this won't prevent them from calling you again, you can get some satisfaction from the knowledge that you are driving their costs up - even if it's not by much.

    Regards,

    You can phone Eircom and request to be removed from direct marketing. That than means that NO company can call you without you directly registering with them.
