Re: Automated nuisance calls

Do the calls have a number associated with them, if no, then you could get
bt to not allow your phone to accept calls with no number displayed, if yes
and its the same number, then this could be barred. However, if like
spammers, they keep changing the number you basically have the same problem
as with email, how do you decide its an unwanted call?
If you bar numbers with no number display of course, some friends who
disable their numbers will have to enable it to call you.

I am getting well and truly fed up with receiving what are apparently
automated calls from abroad. So far I've had 8 today. I'm concerned
that they might continue throughout the night, waking us up, Yet I
don't like the idea of leaving the phone off-hook in case there's an
urgent call.

The 'nuisance call' BT operator I spoke to says there's nothing they
can do to stop international calls. Is that really true? If so, that's
a disgrace IMO. How high-tech or high-cost can it be to detect and
stop such calls?

Does anyone else suffer these? And is there really NOTHING I can do
about it please?
