    Why are you bothered about a mobile phone?

    I never get any rubbish calls to my mobile. But then I never vote on x-factor with it or give the number to any company that I don't want to have it. Only the bank and companies I pay bills to have the number and I always check the "can't share with our group companies" box.

    Signing up for something to get something free? I give them a dummy address, email and number.

    Another test for the bank is to answer a question wrong. If they say "yes, that's correct" then you know it isn't the bank.

    In my case, you'd know it was the bank. They've never answered a single question of mine correctly in 25 years.
