You'd probably be better off getting a Truecall device.

I can recommend truecall if you prepared to pay around £90 it can do so more than block calls ie record calls made, log calls made etc

I have had mine 2 years and havent had a single cold call yet I still get them had one other day from PPI company but truecall blocked them

it's a pity we can't pass the cost of the device onto the useless f'n regulators Ofcom/ICO etc

I came across this when searching for a solution:

http://www.callpreventionregistry.co.uk/products.html

They offer a 30 day moneyback guarantee, and do a so called "telephone buyer" offer of £20 off (if you order over the phone), though this is not a recommendation and I have no connection with them. The 30 day trial does appeal though.

Lots of reviews on that blocker http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B004BTVQ5E/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending Well worth reading

I considered it myself but for ease of use (and working 100% of the time) the Panasonic option worked out well for me.

Forget blocking 'phone calls - pick the 'phone up and when they say is Mr/Mrs Smith there? (For example). You say 'Who?' Mr/Mrs Smith have never lived here. I think you have the wrong number, goodbye!!'

Wow, so simple it's almost brilliant.

I like blocking people I know (or knew), organisations and numerous other people I wouldn't want at my door.

I don't want to speak with them at all. That's why it's called 'blocking'.

This morning I got a call from an Indian call centre who addressed me as "Heater" instead of "Heather", that got my back up straight away :mad:

He said his name was David calling from "UK Today", I said that if his name was David and he was calling from the UK then I was the Pope!

I promptly told him where to go and put the phone down.

Then this afternoon I got another call (a different number displayed on the phone). I answered and asked if this was David calling again, when you deviate from the standard script it throws them, then I plucked up the courage to ask him what he was wearing, he promptly hung up on me! Result! :money:

I have a Panasonic phone with the call bar list and I bar any new ones that come up, but trouble is their number probably changes every day, so probably a pointless exercise! :cool:
