Same here -it's an 0800 number that comes up on my caller id.

Drives me nuts!

If you are not already a member you could join the Telephone preference Service:

http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/

That will stop most unsolicited calls :)

Me neither ~ Although it probably helps that we are both out all day.

Even if you are not registered tell any sales call that you are and they will hang up the phone sharpish ;)

Since we registered with TPS and also MPS (Mail preference services) we get hardly any cold calls or unsolicited mail.

As Tim says if you do get any calls after registering - ask them for their company name and then explain your are on TPS and they shouldn't be ringing and you can bet they put the phone done pretty sharpish. You can then report them on the TPS website if you have enough information

I agree with the TPS being brilliant and stopping the calls but I'm still getting the automated ones with 'you have won a holiday blah blah blah', don't know how to stop these!
