Cold callers trying to sell contract deal to me.

TPS does not work for companies overseas and even then the new one is "Mr BG called last week about a new..... and has said that I should speak to you as he is interested not

I get sick of these type of calls, we had one at 10.20pm last week! personally I think cold calling should be made illegal, it is in some other countries. I personally find whenever I need an upgrade you can probably get a better deal looking on the web as opposed to getting an upgrade through your network. Its more hassle but its normally worth it.

I didn't mind the call TBH - I quite enjoy wasting their time. I wish I'd been in a better mood when the Halifax had phoned to sell me insurance, I could have listened them out too.

I get calls from people like this almost on a daily basis.

As soon as they ask 'Is that Mr or Mrs *****' I hang up. they are a pest. My number is meant to be ex-directory as well!!

Same here, and if any of the kids answer the phone I tell them if they ask for Mr or Mrs ........ then we're not in.

A word of warning, someone once said that they used to play with the salesmen, but started getting calls in the middle of the night!
