I am not your "pal" or your "mate"
That post means that the website is registered to a terraced house in Bolton, a residential street that is brimming with (mostly dissolved) companies at different addresses.
You're a first time poster whos main aim was to post a website stating how good it was, on the back of an alleged 2 and a half weeks service.Personally I think shelling out £360 every year for a service like this is a complete rip-off. Any sensible businessman worried about cold calls but at the same time missing customer calls would spend less than £100 on a call blocker and use voicemail on their mobile0 -
Have a nice day mateRyan_Broadhurst wrote: »I searched.. Stop cold calls and not one company came up similar pal it was all registry crap and tps stuff that doesn't work! so i dunno where u got that from?! Yes theres call answering if thats what you mean but they charge a fortune im happy with 30quid a month,serves me well other companies charge by the call if u actually look into it
and it would end up 60-100quid amonth so 360 isnt all that bad.. And im very sensible thank you ' if you ran a business like mine you would know u cant answer the phone at times and voicemail isnt good enough because if people search online for a plumber and find me and i dont answer they just call someone else! more than likely my competitor.. So if i gain 1 extra job from it ive covered my costs.. They called me and sold it to me tbh... And whats with alll the fbi stuff?! If you wanna find out about the company call them lol no point hiding behind a screen thinking you know it all.. Try the real world

You couldn't put these in a parish magazine, but the top three in our household are:
"I'm sorry, this is the Vicarage, we don't own it" - all double glazing offers etc hung up almost as soon as you finish the line.
With the appropriate leer in your voice
"What'cha wearing?"
(Particularly effective if children expecting this & giggle at the entertainment. The double whammy of innuendo AND being laughed at clears the line a treat.)
And for a bit of variety, "I'm terribly sorry, I've got the VAT here". I don't quite understand why they are so threatening even along a phone line, but certainly calls come to an abrupt end.
However, the parish magazine is well advised with your 10 point plan. Just we got fed up with family mealtimes being disturbed & so deployed the top two (which we learned from our vicar's wife - even the second one! Smashing lady.)0 -
PPI / Accident claims - tell them you've already claimed. You're no use to them so they stop calling
Windows / central heating / whatever - tell them you've just had it done

Phone sex! stops all unwanted callers, especially when you tell them what the dog is doing to you.0
