First of all, when you are in an interview either turn your phone off or leave it in the car - that would have stopped that one.
I don't actually really think that you can stop them from calling you, although there is a preferential phone and fax service that you can register with. They have to observe the data protection act - but whether that covers mobile phones, I have no idea.
Get all the information that you can from them - it really throws them if you start asking the questions! And then? Report them!
Just as a small bit of interest on my part - can you usually even understand what they are saying?????

Register with the TPS (Telephone preference service):
http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/
Once you've registered with the service and waited a couple of weeks, the number should drop off.
If you DO continue to get calls; politely inform the caller that there is a £5000 if you continue to get calls.
This does assume that you have no existing contractual relationship with the company. In which case, write to them to get you off their records, then you can take the same line.
And yes, turn your phone off during an interview.

In the UK you can have your number registered so as to avoid tele-sales. Your BT telephone directory tells you how. This supposedly doesn't block overseas calls. Also in the UK (as I used to get telesales calls from people with whom I had ongoing contact) you can pay for a separate phone number with a different ring-tone, then only only give that number to your nearest and dearest. In the-rest-of-the-world I don't know.

i'm getting similar phone calls everyday from the 3 network.
the first few times i was polite, but now its getting to the point where every time the phone rings i want to smash it against the wall. just tell them in no uncertain terms to f uck off, thats what i'm gonna say next time, and if that doesn't work go to the call centre and beat them to death with ur mobile phone.

Tell them that you already have the latest phone and contract, But if they wanna give you a FREE contract and phone you'll be happy to accept it. Or answer and say Welcome to the Girlie chat service, This service is charged at a flat rate of £1.50 a min please hold while we put you thru to the chat rooms. you get the point just make it like a recorded message.

Look up the "Telephone preference service" and register your number. Takes about 3 weeks for the calls to stop. Also record the numbers dialling and bar them from your number.

you have to be careful with them as they will forge a signature for you to claim commision for themselves.
Change your sim card, if you are texting premium rate numbers for ringtones etc, your number gets forwarded to them call centre people. SO STOP!
I never text premium ratenumbers and no one has ever called me.
P.S. alot of them will say I am calling from T-mobile or orange (or whoever you are with) later a debt collector is calling you to tell you that you have taken out a contract/or renewed it to find out with was some other fraudulent company from another country!
Change your number,

You need to register your phone with the Telephone Preference Service, which is completely free to do so. It can take 28 days for the change to take effect.
Beware of imposters, who charge you for the same thing.

Become TPS registered. Unwanted callers are then subject to a fine of £5000 as they are breaking the law by calling you.Put TPS into search engine to register on line.
