    Some people swear by a whistle down the line..... Certainly won't be ring up many more when they can't hear for a good while :)

  • I'm fed up of cold callers so when they ask are they speaking to Mrs Gettingtheresometime I just reply no & can I take a message for her....that seems to end the phone call pretty quickly

    I'd be answering them differently each time, with a mix of personal and business names.  They'll get bored eventually.

    "Hello, action Fraud, John speaking."
    "Taylor Swift & Partners, Mohammed speaking."

    etc.
    I used to know somebody who answered......

    Priceless! 😂😂

    Simple. Answer call, when you hear his name blow a whistle very loudly down the phone until he hangs up
