    I was !!!!!!! angry at this morning's call - some foreign sounding woman I couldn't understand with an awful line and a number beginning in 009.

    This was before 8am just as I was leaving for work - I thought it was an urgent family matter someone ringing at that time of day. :mad:

    Is there any way you can stop calls coming from a company who withhold there number? We've been getting loads recently, they know my surname and keep asking questions such as - can i confirm you use a bt line which i dont, or can i confirm you are a british gas customer which i'm not. the calls i assume are coming from an indian call centre and i've never given them any information i asked who they were and from but could not make out what they said, the calls are getting more and more frequent now:mad:. I've told them to stop calling or i'll report them (whether i could or not i dont know but i was hoping it might stop the calls) and they just say idont understand what your saying. Any help most appreciated

    A loud whistle.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Ive got all anonymous numbers blocked on my phone.Just ask your service provider.

    It can be a pain sometimes if a friend is ex directory but we were getting so many calls in the night we had to do something (we have a business number and overseas calls arent blocked by the preference service)

    I found TPS worked for a while but it doesn't stop those companies who have software that dials random numbers and waits for someone to answer - also doesn't stop calls from overseas which are more and more prevalent.
