I have Anon. Call Barring in operation but I've just been told by Customer Service (sic) that this doesn't work for call from overseas .. yet the guy who activated the service for me last month said it would.

Which is it?

I was also told I 'd be charged £30 to change my number to avoid these calls, is that also true?
Sadly you will find if you *1471* after the call you will get a phone number for these calls so they are not "Anon" hence you still get them (touch wood I haven't had one for a good while now though).

As for the change of number cost I have no idea.
However IIRC these wretched calls have an automatic dialling system which pick numbers out at random so could in theory pick ex-directory.
