Stupid Phone company!!

are you on the "do not call" register?

yep...dh signed up to it the day after it came out.

Apparently you have to re-register on the "Do Not Call" list, after so long...don't know how long that time is though?

If you are on the do not call register it is valid for 3 years. If they call you ask them where they are from and then tell them you are on the do not call register. It is against the law for them to contact you if you are on the register. Charity groups are not part of this system.

If they are giving out your silent number I would talk and sent an email to someone higher up and let them know they are breaking their own rules and it is an invasion of privacy.
It looks like they need to have a serious look at their own rules and regulations.

if it is prank calls or some one asking for others there isnt alot you can do(except use caller id)
prankers can dial any number and get the right combination and it you they have called, all phone companies recycle numbers.. so if your number was someone elses then you will get their calls

i dont really think it is the phone companies "fault"

[Kazbah]

If you're on the Do Not Call register nobody, and I mean nobody, should be telemarketing you. The only exception would be if you've given out your phone number to a marketing company.

Contact the TIO (telecommunications ombusdman) and lodge a complaint - this should not be happening. At all.
