Unsolicited calls

[Lottowyn]

The number changes all the time, so blocking a number isn't going to help.

Whether you like landlines or not, their quality is still far better than mobiles. And it won't be long before spammers start calling mobile numbers too.

They are calling mobiles already, I got a "it has come to our notice that you've been in an accident " the other day.

"it has come to our notice that you've been in an accident "

Yup had one of those, told them it was a fatal accident and that I had been very seriously injured and had died in the ambulance on the way to hospital.

They are definitely coming to mobiles. My work mobile gets them a lot. Luckily my personal has avoided them so far.

That doesn't work. My mum is registered here. Still gets nuisance calls.

Works for me. I get none. Besides, even if it reduces them by a few, it's a free service so what is there to lose?

The time taken to fill it in! Genuinely hasn't worked at all.

No its automated. I wouldnt care if they weren't so early and now around 3 times a day. It's the same number which is a mobile number. I think I will start switching the phone off when I go to bed.
Cant believe Virgin can't help me.

Buy a nuisance call blocker or a landline phone that lets you block callers, loads of options on amazon.

My parents and grandparents have them

Forgot earlier. We got one of these for the in-laws to help.

Programmed family members, doctors, etc numbers so they know which calls to answer. Caller ID was free to set up on their BT account if you complain about nuisance calls. Easy to block numbers too.

I've had a landline but not had a phone connected to it for the last 15 years. They're for scammers and PPI callers. Anyone that would contact me would call my mobile. if it wasn't cheaper to have services with it, I wouldn't have it at all.
