    How do you block the number withheld ones?

    I'm sorry, I didn't notice your question before. I use an app called Blacklist, one of the options is to block all private numbers. NB This is on android, I'm sure simlar apps are available for iOS.
  • I get one or two of these a day. So annoying!

    So who have you given your number to?

    I actually used an old laptop. Just in case the links were dodgy. Followed them through and got the phone number to a UK PPI company.

    I phoned them about 100 times. Gave them the silent call treatment. Except some youtube spam songs every now and then.

    Kids had some private hospital trying to sell them a plan.. They didnt like me phoning to complain.

    Already checked it, and they seem to be a legit company offering some illegal tactics.

    I had a smash last year (insurers notified, but other party paid), so that's the personal injury ones.

    The others, I can only assume has been from using my phone to deal with DCA's for others. I 141 my number now, but never used to :mad:

    I dealt with a few just before Kiev (so 2nd week November), and don't know if one of those has 'sold' my number to someone!
