getting rid of companies ringing 4 telesales

That's OK, but you could well be giving out someone else's 'phone number, which is a little unfair as they may well be getting these calls now!

My apologies go to the person with the phone number 01234 567890 then. Sorry!

Definitely agree with Woby_tides suggestion.

It has worked for us.

Except that now telesales companies are using computer generated random numbers and are not always checking them against the tele preference list before they call so we are now starting to get calls again!!!

VERY ANNOYING!! ???

I like the idea of fake numbers on websites - to avoid hassling strangers, though, I wonder if you can put the TPS telephone number into websites who require your phone number???

Maybe their complaints department - 020 7291 3323, or their licence department (because they obviously don't have one) - 020 7291 3326...
