eek, missed call

Starla

Just had a missed call from the Daily Telegraph - feeling nervous now! The message you get when you call back is "don't worry, we'll endeavour to call back later". HURRY UP!!

I don't wish to disappoint you but I've got a feeling it's their marketing department trying to sell you a subscription.
I've been plagued by calls from them the past few weeks. Is it an 0208 phone number?

I had one of those today too.and yesterday.

Starla

Yeah it is. Laaaaame. Oh well, postman's still not been, there's still a chance of something good happening today!

I couldn't say for definite that you've not won something though.
All I know is that they have been ringing me twice a day for the past fortnight but it always rings off before I get there to answer it so I googled the number and it would seem to be their subscriptions marketing department.
I don't know whether or not they use the same number for wins though?

Anyhow, the calls are starting to piddle me off :mad:

They DON'T give up. Really annoying.

I think I'm actually going to try and answer it next time they call (generally twice a day, late morning and then again around 2pm) and I'm going to just say 'No thanks, I can't read'

They rang me too the other day and i was sooo excited thinking i may have won something but then they just tried to get me to sign up for a subscription... such a disappointment!

I hope you have better luck tho!!

I had one of these calls last week and the man on the phone asked me if I bought the Telegraph. I said daily and he went on and on - so happy blah blah blah. Then asked if I would like a subscription at a discount if I paid by direct debit. :rolleyes:

I told him I get the Telegraph delivered and I currently had a subscription to their offices in Belfast! This confused him somewhat and said they don't have an office in Belfast. To which I replied - oh, are you not the same people who print the Belfast Telegraph? He stuttered and said no, no we are a different paper - and immediately apologized and hung up.

Needless to say I have not received any more phone calls! :rotfl:

I am plagued with calls by their sales team I sometimes get 3 or 4 calls a day.It doesnt seem to matter how many times I ask them to remove my details they just keep on.
Hope you get a real win soon.
