First, I don't know what a "bt" land line is but I can let you know a little about telemarketing law as I am a professional telemarker. It is illegal for anyone to make a business call before 8AM or after 9PM in the prospective customer's time zone. Anyone calling numbers on the atate or national "DO NOT CALL" list may be fined up to $5,000 and have their license revoked. This does not apply to any religious, political, educational, newspaper or non-profit organization. If you recieve an unwanted telephonic solicitation, you may tell the caller, "Please put this number on your "Do Not Call" list and they must comply. Any calls from that organization afetr that could fine the company $5,000 and cost the company their license.

Give your sevice provider(bt ofr whoever you use) a call and ask for a TPS which mean telephone preferance service,this will put you onto a list where they cannot call you,if any sales calls come though after that you can take further action
I hope this is helpful.

I had exactly the same problem and with junk mail, here is what i did.
as far as the junk mail goes you wont stop it completely but you can reduce it by a huge amount by registering with the mail preference service. third party company's have to check this list and are not supposed to send you unsolicited mail. If they do then you can complain to service who punish the company involved.
A similar thing is available for telephone cold calling. contact the " telephone preference service (TPS) the # is: 08450700707 I think you have to put it in writing and post to somewhere, but its worth it.

Phone BT they have a free service , ive done it and they remove your number from the lists, works a treat, and if you get the odd one that comes though tell them they are breaking the law, they soon get the hint not to call back

Call BT and tell them you want to join the telephone preferance service (tps). They will sign you up and the calls should stop. However it will not happen straight away.

It's called the telephone preference service, and you can find details on the BT website.

Register on the site below. I used to receive between three and five spam calls every day (including BT), and since registering six months ago I have received none.
If any unwanted calls are received after you register they can take action against the caller.

Ring 150 and ask them to block calls from unknown numbers. Good luck
