Sick and tired of those pesky unwanted calls?
The country's federal regulator is giving service providers one year to implement a new measure that's designed to reduce the number of nuisance calls that get through to consumers.
The CRTC says by December 19th, 2019, the communications service providers must be able to block numbers that are blatantly illegitimate, such as ones with 10 zeroes, or calls that exceed 15 digits.
It's the Commission's latest attempt to deal with the perennial problem of unwanted calls.
