Unwanted Calls

We all get them.You answer the phone and you say "hello" but no one is there. But, when someone does respond it is either a sales person or a computer telling you that a representative of an organisation has been trying to contact you.

My recommendation is that you go to the TPS. "The Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS) is the central opt out register whereby corporate subscribers (see definition below) can register their wish not to receive unsolicited sales and marketing telephone calls to either all their organisation's telephone numbers, or to certain numbers. It is a legal requirement that companies do not make such calls to numbers registered on the CTPS"

The best thing i found is that it allows you to opt out your mobile number and mailing address too.

Hope this helps
