Re: Call Blocker phones
[QUOTE=Tachyon;676126]Same here, but that doesn't stop autodiallers and dialling programmes. They make hundreds of thousands of calls a day using incremental phone numbers dialled at random. I've been ex-directory for about 28 years, I registered with the TPS about 10 years ago and I still get cold-callers.[/QUOTE]Re: Call Blocker phones
Re: Call Blocker phones
This is an issue I am pretty passionate about. The whole setup is an almighty scam and nothing less than a protection racket. BT is imo complicit in this entire scam. It is for me, no different from Chinese Triads visiting the corner shop and saying "pay us some money or you will suffer the consequences".Re: Call Blocker phones
Re: Call Blocker phones
No ideal solution maybe. The caller's telephone number being shown and ringing back if you want to seems a good way, providing you ring back quickly enough for the caller not to assume you are not around and then go out. The answer-phone method isn't bad either but I quite often hang up on answer-phones, preferring to ring back later rather than waiting for the 'Hello' message to run and then leaving a message. I can't be alone in that one.Re: Call Blocker phones
