Don't make up a number .. while doing the first "trawl" use a false name and use the number of someone you don't like ....... ;D ;D ;D only give your real name once you've decided you are seriously interested ..

We got ourselves an 0870 number about four or five years ago ,this gets given to all utility company's and any internet searches this is put in!!!
Fairly easy to get hold of (or was),very few companys query it and we still have our "normal" number as well.

Most providers of 0870 to consumers use it to pay for the service that they offer for free.

If you're charged for incoming calls in the UK, you need a new mobile provider!!!

I that I think that is the case with us we have not had a payment from them but it does deter most people ,we get very few cold calls. Ours is actually an 08717 number but definitely works!!

The source of the calls is irrevelent (though most will be VOIP'd to UK, before fitting the traditional switched or mobile networks), if a UK provider is charging for *any* incoming calls, you need to change provider.

I had a massive row with Vodafone a few years ago when I started to receive lots of marketing texts and was being charged something like 20p for each one. >:(
When they claimed that they couldn't stop the texts and they had to charge me, I said that I was going to cancel my direct debit and they would have to pursue me through the courts for the rest of the money due through the contract, and I'd report them to trading standards! >:(
Funny enough I stopped getting the texts! ::)
