    How to stop annoying unwanted call

    it really get on my nerves!

    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!

    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

    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.

    i always got phone calls that start that is not a person"Have you been sold credit..blah blah"

    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

    OPT OUT

    Ah yes. and this fantastic video about how a man deals with a telemarketer.. just brilliant!

    Telemarketer video

    I just love the bit where he says where are you? you at work? u being a smart a*s?
    It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum.

    well maybe they will be soon asking for mrs portman on your mob

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme...ch/8091621.stm

    you cannot opt out at the mo, because i think their web site crashed because too many people were opting out

    Oh come on LadyJ have fun with it! say "yes I am Mrs Portman, where's the gold necklace I ordered...if I don't get it this week, I'm calling the police!"



    I live in Chessington and I used to get loads of calls asking me if I recieved the 'Richmond Times' newspaper ok....since I don't even live in Richmond I can't say that I was expecting to recieve it!
