Since i got a telewest phone number last year i have been hammered with phone calls asking for what must be the owner of the number before me . Telewest said at the time that they had no new numbers and had to reassign old ones to new customers, and if they became a problem , then ask for a new number. They couldnt guarantee that the problem would stop.
It is a year on , and im still getting them . Mainly foreign callers asking for the same guy . I have subscribed to the tps service but this doesnt seem to be working . I get at least 4 calls a week sometimes in the afternoon , and sometimes around 8 at night .
Is there anyone else whos had this problem , and is there a way around it , without cancelling my phone service ???
