I've had the same thing in the past so I don't put a home phone number on these things anymore. At least with a mobile number you have the option of not answered a withheld number call. The worst people for it were Simply Be. I only bought a coat from them years back and got calls for months for insurance and all sorts.0

The way I get around this problem (from many companies) is I use my old mobile number from when I had a pay as you go handset. Rather than transfer that number to my monthly contract, I kept it, and set up a password pin so I can "remotely" access the voice mail. That way, all the companies can call and call, but its an answerphone only number. Then each week, I dial in and listen to the messages, if I deem them important, I will call them back. I have the number set on my blackberry so I don't even have to type anything to listen to the voicemail, I simply call (via speed dial) orange on 07973100123P MobileNO #P PIN
I have my mobile no in the mobile no part and my pin in the pin part.
Sounds a little complicated but once done, saves all of the cold calls. I don't give out my proper mobile number to anyone but friends, and when signing up on sites, always use my orange voice mail number.0 -

to be honest, i am wondering whether it is worth apply for these deals. is it worth all the hassle? perhaps its better just to go in a shop and pay the full price for something one really wants ....
i say this especially in the light of people's experiences with OSpa on Groupon which sound pretty bad. I am a tad suspicious of Groupon anyway - if I see that 939 people have bought something, my first thought is - how are they going to fit me in.
Well I know starfish said after the 15th and it is the 15th, but I am going to go and get my pitchfork ready anyway. I keep checking my spam folder just incase... but nothing :eek:0 -
