about 6 or 7 times a day i get calls from all sorts of different companies, trying to get me to change my phone call provider, buy a mobile phone, get a conservatory on my house or buy a time share. i am getting sooooo fed up of them i just want them to stop. i remember watching richard and judy once and they had a few great websites where if you put in your details it will stop all these calls. does anyone have any information on this at all??

oh boy i knwo what your going thru. AT&T gave me a number that some guy used for his business, but it wasnt registerd as a business line, so they didnt know. I was gettin landscaping inquiry calls for 2ys after having the numbers. It would only be a few calls a week but i got so fed up with explaining this is my number, there is no landscaping business etc etc, that I would go along with it and be like okay, what time would u like us to come out.....ok...what exactly do u need done? then I would give them horrible prices. LOL I had to change the number, after 2 years, after I got about 40-50 hang ups a day on my answering machine...it was 2 creditors he owed. I would repeatedly tell them to stop calling, I tried everything to get them to stop including name calling and cussing etc...nothing worked.
I just changed the number.
Btw, I had caller ID before and cancelled it because they spoof the caller ID to say 1111111111111111 or 1234567890 etc. Privacy manager didnt help either cuz they woudl just ring thru with mr AAAAAAAA at 555-111-1111 showing.

Two words to do with sex and travel.
If they are phone calls, get on to the Telephone Preference Service through your phone company.

Phone the operater, they should be able to give you a phone number to stop unwanted calls. write down the name of the companys calling you sometimes they are the same one under more than one name

as above, also, when they ring you up tell them that you are registered with tps and ask them to remove you from their database. when i have time i also like to wind them up, and keep them on the phone as long as possible. this cheers me up as i know that they wont get any money from me.
if i dont have much time, i rant at them and tell tham that since i am not a lazy b******d if i wanted to buy something i would get off my a**e and go buy it. i dont sit at home with no food in and wait for someone to ring me up and offer to sell me some!!!!!!
what i couldnt believe was vodafone, i rang themup to ask a question and about 2 hours later got a phone call from a f******g computer asking me questions. annoying or what!!!!!!

I once worked on the switchboard of a vast monetary organization and we were advised to say, "we do not settle for unsolicited calls. in case you'll want to bypass some information to any of our workers, please be at liberty to mail something the following to reception, and we will ascertain that it receives to the right human being." yet that's no longer a lot relaxing. who's it calling, sales human beings or headhunters? For sales human beings, basically say "sorry, that human being isn't obtainable" and positioned the phone down immediately - do not provide them a threat to say "properly, am i able to communicate to so and so rather?" Headhunters are extra relaxing. I paintings for a recruitment organization, so all of us comprehend each of the tricks interior the e book and we may be able to p.c.. them out a mile away. My pal makes use of "you're a headhunter, are not you? there is not any way i'm putting you through!" yet then she's honestly no longer shy. Or, in the adventure that they are calling for a colleague that i don't love, then I positioned the headhunter through hoping that they are going to convince my colleague to flow to a distinct activity. I had an outstanding one the different day which i comprehend replaced into *honestly* a headhunter, yet she replaced into pretending to be my colleague's pal. This woman observed as and requested for my colleague through call. I advised her that my colleague replaced into operating in reading - that wasn't a lie; she really replaced into. So the female suggested "ok, i am going to call her there" like she had her huge style and each thing. Then ten minutes later she calls again and requested for my colleague back, and that i back advised her that she replaced into in reading, notwithstanding the female then says "you do not have an place of work in reading!" Hahahahaha ... no we do not (my colleague replaced into operating at a customer's website, no longer one in all our places of paintings) and it took her ten minutes to locate that out!

register with the telephone preference service, as soon as you get a cold caller tell them your registered with them and you want their name and number as you are going to report them. most of them hang up before you can finish!
