    Since a lot of the discussion on this thread has been about Sprinkle.com, I thought I would check my Sprinkle profile and as far as I can see, I have never put my phone number on there, so I won't have to worry about getting any spam phone calls in the event that they were to sell my data.
    Sorry for veering off topic.

    Don't think phone spam related to any site in particular.

    To use a call blocker with BT you now have to keep signing up to 12 month contracts or pay almost £2 a month for caller display - another reason for a comping mobile that doesn't charge for the service.
    No problem with that here.

    BT may not be the cheapest but in my area they seem to offer the best all round value.

    I do use a comping mobile but the spam calls seem to come from non comping activites.Even my MIL gets them & she has never comped.
  • I can't wait to be able to do a clear out post advent calendars. I have to keep shutting my email app down because of all the daily, and even more frequent, notifications from some sites I authorised email from totally hammering their send buttons. I missed a doctors appointment yesterday because I failed to read the calender email reminder.
