How many spam telephone calls do you get a day?

pitchfork · 23 Oct 2013 at 09:47

Too many. I've taken to ignoring my phone after a point.

some people are now starting to get on mobiles too not just landlines.

CircleFaust · 23 Oct 2013 at 10:47

It would take so little effort for phone manufacturers to include a "Block this number" option as standard.

I don't answer any number I don't recognise now, just because I'm sick of having to verbally abuse the cold callers.

2-3 a week now was worse when the ppi craze started most are usually out of area or international so just don't get answered.
had to laugh at one my mum got other week " hello this is Microsoft phoning about your windows(in a modulated voice)" ,lol really........

Several a day on the landline. That's despite of the fact that we're ex-directory, TPS registered and so forth. There just seems to be no way of stopping them if you have a landline.

I used to have an office in the centre of town. I was inundated with calls from a Kitchen company.

I decided to book in an appointment with one of their sales guys for the last day we were open before Christmas at 3pm. We left the office at noon.

0 - Landlines are unecessary and outdated.

eggyoke · 23 Oct 2013 at 13:49

We used to have a few per week, but it calmed down a lot after registering with TPS. Now we get about 1 every 1-2 months.

I also changed my mobile number and no longer get spam texts.

0 times a day, every day

Just got another one with some Indian sounding guy by the name of "Kevin" wanting to know what kind of washing machine we had. :rolleyes:

About one a day but it used to be three or four times that. I like to think that part of reason is down to them getting a loud "**** OFF" in their ears every time.

No landline, no spam.

Energize · 23 Oct 2013 at 16:14

All withheld/international numbers are blocked so the answer is 0.

Devrij · 23 Oct 2013 at 17:23

I get no spam calls, but the occasional spam text, and a fair amount of spam email (but only lately).

setter · 23 Oct 2013 at 18:40

Get about 6 a day on the landline. None on my mobile thankfully, but that could probably change as ive only had the new number a few weeks.

That was well spooky! I read this thread title... I was about to post to say non then my landline phone rang to ask me about free solar panels.

W.T.H!!!

MadMouse101 · 23 Oct 2013 at 18:50

We get about 2-5 calls a week on the landline and about once a month a text on the mobile

=XDC=FluphyBunny · 23 Oct 2013 at 20:32

Next to none at home.

Tons of calls at work as we are just registering a new business. Mostly the 'hi we are *insert* utilities and we have been informed you are on an emergency tariff' :rolleyes:

No1newts · 23 Oct 2013 at 20:37

None.

But we don't share our landline, if it gets to the stage of my parents landline 2/4 an hour I would just cancel the landline.

******* parasites.
