Re: Does anyone know this Phone Number ?
Straight quote from the tps web site:
"Silent Calls If you have been troubled by calls where the phone rings but on answering there is no one there, you may wish to register your number on the Silent Callgard Service on 0870 4443969.
These calls are generated by automatic dialling equipment which dial more numbers than there are operators available to take the calls."

Re: Does anyone know this Phone Number ?
While I can understand company's using this sort of thing to save time etc do they not give a thought to the distress they may be causing people?

I dont think they give a toss to be honest.
I have been plagued by stupid mobile phone companys as my contract was coming to an end.
I ended up having an arguement with one operator.
The conversation went something like this.
ME: Hello
Him: Hello Sir i'm from <name> telecom and we deal with orange direct customers.
Me: no thank you i'm not intrested, please remove my number from your database thank you.
Him: I will do when you have answered my questions.
Me: I refuse to answer any questions, please remove my number
Him: <voice tone=angry) I will do when you have answered my questions.
Me: Listen to me are you deaf remove my number im not intrested!!!
<<clunk>> he put the phone down
Losers, Losers Losers.
Why cant they say:
Hello sir i'm from sucha telecom here is my full name and address please feel free to come and kick the living **** out of me if i offend you and ignore your wishes of removing the number we have stored for you.....

Re: Does anyone know this Phone Number ?
Last night my 80 year old Father got a phone call asking him to press "9" to continue. Fortunately he immediately disconnected. 1471 gives the caller's number as 0845 685 3000 but I can't trace this via Google etc. He has been registered with the Telephone Preference Service for a few years but obviously this particular caller ignores that. Does anyone know the number and is it worth reporting the incident to someone like ICSTIS given the possibility that he could have ended up with a lengthy premium rate call?

Re: Does anyone know this Phone Number ?
He is with BT and now I've mentioned it he does think that "reverse charge" could have been amongst what little was said. Is the pressing "9" a way of conforming that you will accept the call charges?

Re: Does anyone know this Phone Number ?
Probably not, i mean how can i identify you from a forum post?
Anyway, this thread should have been left to die.
Funny how you come from almost the same area as the other Stacey i know though...
