Caller ID says $25 flip phone. Recording immediately says "to not receive calls from this company in the future press 9". I believe Cincinnati Bell itself is making this placing this telemarket call. We are on the "Do not call list" but Cincinnati Bell has a habit of callin gyou trying to sell services. I guess they're allowed since its their phone network but it seems to me they should have to abide by the do not call list just like any other telemarketer.

The call from 513-565-2685 was a very legitimate call, if people would 1st listen to the message, it clearly IS NOT A telemarketing call. Their reason for calling is to give their customers plenty of notice that the platform for the fioptics cable tv is going to change. They have sent emails, letters and now calls. Because it informs the customer the date the change will occur and that their DVR recordings will be lost & need to be reset.
There was nothing wrong with this call. And yes, they do give you the option to call 877-698-3262 to opt out of the calls in the future. However, if big changes are going to occur and you haven't read the email or the letter. You wouldn't get the call, and then you would not be as well informed as you need to be.
So you decided to wait 7 years to tell people who this was and what it was about? I just wondered because the last post in this thread made before yours was in 2009. Then there is the question as to why you looked up this number if you knew who it belonged to? After all, normal people look stuff up to learn something they don't know, but here we have you who professes to know everything there is about this number yet you looked it up anyway. Now why would you do that?
To be honest, I didn't even realize the original post was back to 2009. I did not know initially who the call was from, and before I listened to the voicemail that was left, I wanted to know who it was. As it turned out to apparently be an internal number with Cincinnati Bell, it didn't come up in any of my contacts, business or otherwise. It only came up as the number, not the business.
I failed to pay attention to the original post date, as it came up 1st in my search when I typed in the number. So, I didn't wait 7 years, I only realized it yesterday 4-6-16 after I noticed a rejected call on my phone and the subsequent voicemail.
I had researched the number prior to listening to the voicemail, once I listened to the voicemail, it all made sense, especially since I've gotten letters and emails about the upcoming change.
My original intention was to provide accurate information, so people knew this wasn't a bad call.
Admittedly in 2009, the number could have been used by Cincinnati Bell for cell phone related business, as they were a provider before they sold the cell phone portion to Verizon.
