    This is a problem you will always get around the end of a contract, and TPS can't help. Dealers know what range of numbers they were connecting 12 months ago, so they know they will be coming to the end of their contracts. Therefore they call people with similar numbers, knowing they will be coming to the end too. They have no "database" of numbers as such, therefore nothing they can check with TPS. If you want to avoid these calls your only real options are to switch to PAYG or stick with your contract rather than getting a new deal with a new number.

    I have a new way of getting rid of telemarketers.

    As soon as they speak I say 'thank you for calling Enlarge your Penis.com, congratulations on taking the first step to getting a larger penis, may I start by taking your name please'

    9 out 10 times they ring off, but I have had some amazing conversations with men with small penises.
