Just got an email advising that the family price is going up again to $39.99 a month. I've just cancelled as we cant justify the cost now. This is getting out of control.

I live in Queensland. I just made an appointment because I have some symptoms so my GP gave me a referral.

I will have to shell out 600 dollars for this scan.

A scan to see IF I HAVE BREAST CANCER.

I can pay this. But WHAT IF I COULDN’T?

What if I were a single mum who had to decide on scanning for CANCER or paying the rent for me and my kids?!

Where is the national f**king outrage over this?!

It’s usually sales calls regarding solar panels and batteries and energy companies and health insurance. Not restricted to that, but that’s where I’m pigeon holed currently.

It’s also multiple daily calls that just hang up after I pick up.

Every time I’ve asked how they got my number they say from “Australian data services”. I ask the person calling to delete my number, and they may well do, and I will block their number, but it doesn’t seem to stop the number being handed out from the source. And new calls every day after.

Googling this entity seems to be a black hole.

I have to be able to answer calls from unknown numbers, and I do not want to change my number—so the ‘don’t answer unknown callers’ won’t work for me.

Who is “Australian data services” and how can I get them to stop handing out my mobile number?

Also, has anyone else been told this is where their phone number was provided from?

TIA
