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 ???

I had the same problem as you i was given a number that used to belong to someone else and after 2 years i was still getting calls for them, all you can do is tell the people who phone to remove your number from their database.
I got fed up of it to be honest and got rid of the phone and the problem has miraculously disappeared lol
