As soon as you pick up the call, you can tell what it's going to be - I more or less put the phone down straight away.
I have registered with TPS, but so far can't say that I've noticed any difference.

A lot of these automated calls originate from outside the UK and so TPS has no power over them.
As Russ has already said, because they are foreign calls they are not "caller ID witheld" just "caller ID unavailable" so ACR does not stop them either.
