How do I unsubscribe from the robocalls???

 I apologize, as this is kind of the antithesis of a Davis Square-centric post, but I moved out of Somerville several months ago, and I am still getting robocalls.  I have called the City of Somerville four times now to ask to be removed from the call-list, but I am still getting the calls.  Does anyone know of a way to unsubscribe from these?  I know it's just a few extra phone calls here and there, but when winter comes, I know they'll be coming more frequently to alert me of snow emergencies, and since I don't live in Somerville anymore, I don't really need the alerts.

If anyone has a lead, let me know.  Or, Tom or Jackie, if you are reading this...help???

If you signed up with an email address you might try the link (https://portal.blackboardconnectcty.com/welcome.aspx?eiid=1207B6088C3473A4637E) off the lower right corner of the front page of the S'ville website. (http://www.somervillema.gov/)

That said, it didn't work for me.

At some point I signed up to get texts sent to my cell phone and I can't seem to get it to stop. I even called and complained and said I can read the newspaper for construction they're doing three days from now; really I just need updates that are emergency in nature. But the 311 operator really didn't understand *why* I would want some updates and just said "that's the way it is," and didn't offer to pass on my specific complaint (since he didn't seem to get it). le sigh.

I get the robo-calls and emails (and want to continue getting them), but that page says that I have never registered any contact info with the city. (I entered my e-mail addresss on the 'Forgot Password' page.)
