how do i stop sales and survey calls?

Answer 1

Hang up!

Answer 2

There is a service called the telephone preference sevice-which should cut out sales and junk calls. Type it and do a search for it on the internet-sorry i cant remember the telephone number for it (you have to register to join it, i think it lasts a year or something like that).It might be an idea to get yourself a unit which you can plug into your BT landline called a caller display unit-it will display certain telephone numbers-i dont answer any that say anonymous. You will get no hassle or upset then - give it a go.

Answer 3

if you are with bt, give customer services a call and there is a company/programe that they can put onto your line which will stop these calls.
There is also an address, which if you get another marketing call ask them for, by law they should not refuse it to you, as you have a right not to be on the lists. The majority of the lists are generated from electrol rolls etc.

Top ten phrases to stop solicitors dead

10: "May I ask who's calling?"

9: "They're not in right now, could I have your name and number so they can call you back?" (Write this name and number on hundreds of "Win a Free car" forms in malls, etc.

8: "I'm sorry, there's no one here by that name." (Works best when they can't get your name right.)

7: "I'm sorry, I thought I was on the national do not call list, can I talk to your superior?"

6: "I find that comment very offensive!" (Say at any point in the conversation)

5: "Now's not a good time, ten years ago would have been better."

4: "I aint got no job, so unless you're paying me for this you can..."

3: "I said you can... Now go do it!"

2: "Sorry, My refrigerator wasn't running when I answered the phone, but it just started now, so I have to go catch it."

1: "Hold please." (Leave phone off the hook for half an hour.)

Telemarketers and surveyors get their information from specific places. Sweepstakes entries are a favorite place to troll for names and addresses. Some intelligent software searches for phone numbers and names together, but the results are not spectacular at the moment. The less you give out your phone number, the less calls you get.

Telemarketers aren't looking just for phone numbers, they're also looking for accurate names to go with them. If they think the name's wrong, they're likely to remove that from the list without you telling them to remove you from the list. Some are more likely to do this than remove you because you asked them to.

Telemarketers often get paid by comission, on the number of sales or surveys they get through in a day, so wasting their time wastes their money. This is another reason to tell them they have the wrong number, because even though they may call again, they'll be wasting company time, and may get fired sooner. Telling them to wait usually also works, sometimes better, because to them, it means that you're onto them. Also, you can spout out some profanities in the background as if you can't find the person you're looking for.

The national do not call list has turned out to not be all it was hoped for. Police, firefighter's organizations, and political campaigners are sometimes allowed to use it as a call list.

Answer 6

Make a game of it. Try to get them to hang up on you by asking them to repeat everything and spell every single word they say to you, ask them what they are wearing, what did they have for breakfast, how should you treat you 8 cats for worms. That sort of thing. Can be great fun and works a treat. They almost never ring a second time.

Answer 7

If your with BT, then they can set up a block on such calls. I think you dial 151. I used to get loads of sales calls, but now I get none!
PS: Its free to do!

Answer 8

when they call you have to make them sorry they ever picked up a phone by being the most anoying you can be. and ask pointed questions they can't answer... like ask then if you can call then back at home. nd if they don't stop calling at least you have fun toying with them

Answer 9

When they call, tell them to take you off their call list. If they call again, you can sue for harrassment.

I have caller id - if the number is one I don't recognize or is a blocked or unknown number, I let my voice mail catch it. If it's someone that really wants to talk to me, they'll leave a message so I can call them back.

Answer 10

Call your service provider they will give you a number to ring and they stop these calls for you. it does take a while for the service to actually start though.

Answer 11

i know you've probally already been asked this but just in case, is your line ex directory that usually puts a pretty good stop to it. anyway gd luck and if it does persist then the only option i see is getting a new number!
