Aggressive phone marketing prompts complaints
The watchdog has received complaints in recent weeks from members of the public who have been bombarded by calls from companies offering phone services.
ComReg said many consumers were unclear about the prices being charged by these phone operators. Some of the companies were offering calls on a "per unit" rather than a per minute price. Often "per unit" calls are subject to a minimum call charge and if the call is shorter than the minimum duration the cost is still at the higher charge.
