Unwanted ph calls ?

Cheers for that, I'll get onto them.

At least I have an explanation of why this has been happening, can't say I'm too thrilled about it :mad:

I've just found this, which has also shocked me and I intend to dail 141 from now on!

Your number is always given to 800 numbers you call from your home phone. That's regardless of whether or not you have caller ID blocking, manually try blocking the caller ID or whatever. It ALWAYS goes to the caller, because they're paying for the call and they have the legal right to know the source of the call they're paying for. So if you call an 800 number, you can figure you've divulged your number to the company you've just called. I'd suggest you call from a cell phone or a pay phone, or call their regular (toll) number if you don't want them to sell your phone number to telemarketers.

We used to get these a lot, registered with the TPS but to be honest we found that blatent rudeness was the only way,

When they start there speil just say , "i'm not interested, do not phone this number again" and put the phone down.

These people are trained to get around most of your objections and reasons not to buy from them.

Be rude !!
