Just googled this for you if it is of need... from BT. Call our Nuisance Call Advisors free of charge, anytime of the day or night on Freefone 0800 661 441 they will offer you simple advice on the most suitable action to take, tailored to the particular difficulties you are experiencing. You may be connected to a trained specialist who will work with you, using their knowledge and experience to tackle the problem. In extreme cases they can also work with the Police to trace you calls. Hope it helps. Anne :))) |

I,m with telewest & am on the telephone preference list as well as being ex dir. & nos witheld. We had a problem with a former BF of grandaughter who was doing the dialling every 5 to 10 mins after she told him it was over. For a pound a month we have put a block on nos witheld calls. That sorted him!!!. We can take off our nos withheld by dialing a code first . Shirley |

As already mentioned register with the Telephone Preference Service, just do a Google for that phrase and it will bring up the website. You can do it online and it's free. That'll stop 'em. Regards Ron www.genealogyprinters(.)com |

I had that problem it turned out to be computer block dialling from sales people,When you answer your phone if all the sales people are already dealing with someone there is no one left to speak to you so you get the dead line. They always withold their number, I think its so you cant phone them back and have a go at them. Maddy |
