I sympathise. Over the last week I have had 7 of the same - all
trying to sell a mobile to the 'head of the household'.
After the 1st attempt I put ACR on (subscribed ot it - but switched it
off temporarily), and then the buggers started presenting an
international number (001xxxxxx) thus allowing the calls to get
through !
I'm registrered with the TPS, so guess they must be cold calling via
an auto-dialler ??
Cheers
Jim
