it is incredibly hard to block call centres calling for someone else on my number whom I don't know because ACMA wants the business name of the caller and the product they are selling and the business selling the product - I keep telling the call centre wrong number and they keep ringing me over and over again and not deleting my number from that other person's name - very frustrating and annoying - the call centre keeps changing its number every call so I can't block them - there's got to be a better way to get customers than harassing half the population via call centres - it's always Indian call center operators - it's usually about cheaper power bills, ISPs, life insurance #callcentres #marketing #australia #wrongnumber #indian #spammers #coldcalling #ACMA #powerbills #isp #lifeinsurance

E.g. I am living in an apartment - I just cannot live off-grid.

You will benefit from other actions, not this one.

Back to work. It's Monday but the sun is still shining :-)

One call, & they were suddenly cheaper across the board - as a valued customer for years I was paying more than new customers - or smarter customers, who'd haggled, or threatened to take their business elsewhere. I knew this happened. 🤦 I just didn't realise how much I was being overcharged. 🤦

I'll be watching my #PowerBills very closely from now on!

With MPs heading back to Canberra, what’s on your wishlist this cost-of-living crisis?

If you already have rooftop solar and electrical appliances you are decoupling from fossil fuels and shock power bills.
Soon Australia will have community batteries and solar banks, so renters, apartment owners can also start the migration.
