I usually let whoever is calling rant on without saying a word which usually does the trick.

[slinky.kate]

is that the same as a phone that says it blocks callers,if so I might buy a new phone

[CrapAtCryptics]

None I have the BT 8500 blocker phone

[slinky.kate]

I don't understand what half of them is saying,they are all foreigners.

None for ages, but if I do get one and I'm not busy, I usually say ''Sorry he's not here at the moment, he's in prison for murder''
And.
''Any chance of you having an office collection between your colleges, he needs about 50,000 Rupees for a Barrister''

[slinky.kate]

a lot of them is pre-recorded,i let most of them go on the answerphone then spend ages deleting them.

1, John from Microsoft tells me my machine has been hacked

[albaqwerty]

hey Slinky!! xx

ignore the phone, it's there for your convenience, not theirs.

Mr Alba usually gets about 4 silly text a day, usually when he's trying to sort out a suspended ceiling so the language is quite choice :-D

Ignore the calls. If it's someone who knows you, they will leave a message. I understand that whenever we answer one of these cold calls, it's recorded as a valid number, so you get even more. Don't you have 'Caller Display' on your phone? Well worth it, and very reasonable.

I used to get half a dozen sales calls a day until I got a BT phone that blocks calls. It was recommended by a poster on here, all I can say is silence is golden

[jazzyjen]

Around 6-7 so far today. That despite being registered with TPS. I usually just hang up without saying anything.

[slinky.kate]
