as I said we use mobiles in our household so the land line is never used yes I would love to lose the land line but my package is cheaper to include the fixed line.

Mobiles are just as prone to these calls as landlines. Kept getting an automated system leaving messages on my mobile voicemail a while ago. As I am on PAYG & have to pay to listen to voicemail this was an absolute pain. Make sure ALL your numbers, landline or mobile, are registered with TPS, as some companies are now targetting mobile numbers due to the amount of people using them.

Wrong. Nothing voluntary about it. It is a legal requirement of all UK registered companies to participate.
"It is a legal requirement that all organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so." - from the TPS website.
