it really get on my nerves!:cwm23::cwm23:

Called 100 times in 6 months looking for Mrs Portman, I've told them 99 times that there's no Mrs Portman living here and remove my number from their system and do not call back again!:cwm23::cwm23:

Next time they will call I will tell them Mrs Portman is dead!

One advantage of being a Welsh speaker is that any unwanted phone callers will quickly give up when they realise they can't understand a word ... dew dew bach flippin saesneg sariad cymraeg innit OR: Ble mae'r Geraint Lloyd? a'r Radio Cymru!!

that's a very good idea!! but i dont need to use welsh, simply I'll use tagalog without them knowing that Im swearing at them 'Ang kukulit talaga ninyo ang sarap nyong patayin,kung nandyan lang ako pinutol ko na mga dila ninyo:icon_lol::icon_lol::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well unless a pinoy call centre Lady J may have a useful tool:D

Have you worked out who they are?

debt collection agency, bank or?

You can sign up here which may help a littlehttp://www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/

I'll have a look at that later, that might help me.

I've registered my number with BT to stop unwanted calls and since that I never received any of it at all apart from that one company who kept looking for bloody Mrs Portman!

Try and find out who they are on the next call and then we can see if we can help.

Sometimes writing in helps far more than telling a call operator who cant do anything on their system.

The problem is I kept asking them what's the name of their company but I could'nt get what name or what they're saying its just like amjeshkuntfeckinggutit company and from the start they open their mouth looking for Mrs Portman my blood is already boiling:NoNo:

Sounds like BT your best bet at the moment. Hopefully Buzzby and gang can help you:D

If anyone else is interested I used Lady J call preference site too as well as this one below. Since the mobile phone numbers are being available to more companies I expect more naff on my phone. Privacy :doh
