Cold calling!!!

[youngpecker]

Automated cold calling is getting all the more popular, very frustrating as at least with a switchboard operator you at least had a bit of satisfaction telling them to f*** off!. Regulations should be put in place to stop this....apparently some newer 'home phones' have screening functions!,does anyone have a device with this option or are they nonsense?. cheers!.

TPS with BT is free. Blocks calls from most, otherwise tell them "just send me the money", that's what I do.

IOS7 add the number to your contacts and at the bottom of the contact detail it gives you the option to Block Call and TXT

I normally say "no thank you" ....... or ......... "by the way, can I interest you in a headstone ?" ........ that normally stumps them completely

I give the phone to my 4 year old and he tells them about his play school and toys and his brother eats bogies etc etc Lol

a friend f mine says hang on a minute and puts the phone down for an hour.....if they're still there he says sorry I just have to go and put my dog down can you call back. generally works.
