How many spam telephone calls do you get a day?

[Adam_101]

sometimes (once a month)....usually I could be entitled to ppi compensation or something like this.

 

[Twirlywoos]

1-2 a year

 

[d_brennen]

None, my name is George Agdgdgwngo

 

[Sliver]

How can you have 0.2 calls a day?

1 call every 5 days ?

Or maybe he's just special.

 

[Nimdok]

0.

This. Can't even remember the last time we got one, hasn't happened in the past 2 years at least.

 

[krooton]

1-3, weekdays only

 

[Fenris]

Very rarely, maybe once a month.

 

[Rroff]

3 a day on average probably, but we don't really answer the landline any more unless expecting a call, its a bit of a joke really.

Fortunatly so far on mobiles we've not had any problems with it.

I just say "NO" in a monotone voice and put down the phone.

"Would you have time to help us with a survey?"
"NO" *click*

"We're ringing you about insurance for..."
"NO" *click*

It's all died down now. I gave up being polite to cold callers a long time ago.

Hmmm an average week we are getting about four international calls. Other spam calls we only get about two a month.

How can you have 0.2 calls a day?

About one every 5 days

 

[RDM]

None, ex-directory, hardly ever give out my number and always tick the "No contact" box.

 

[postbox]

Home phone? I've had none, I think the only place that knows my number is work.

 

[atpbx]

It was 3 or 4 day at all times.

The phone is unplugged now.

Having the ability to block numbers on the mobiles now is great as well, they dont even get put through to voice mail it just hangs them up straight away.

 

[Judgeneo]

I installed mr blocker on my phone, not a problem anymore

 

[HecFam]

I dont get any on my mobile, only follow ups from microsoft for tickets i created with them about 8 months ago. im never usually in enough to get spam on the house phone, don't seem to call in the evenings.

 

[Akagi]

none on the landline, one or two a week on the mobile.

 

[Amos91]

Think I've been lucky with my new assigned home phone.

Haven't had a single cold call that I know of since July.

 

[ChroniC]

What ever happened to the phone that was promoted on Dragons Den, that screens all calls which are not part of the phones database. The person leaves a short messages and then stays on hold until you vet the call.

This was it. https://www.truecall.co.uk/home.aspx

To be honest, why does anyone need a landline these days, suppose women do cause they spend hours and hours nattering, but as a man my mobile has served me. I have the internet but never connect a landline to it.

About 20 a month, mostly from "out of area" numbers that we just don't answer anymore. We are ex-directory and registered with the TPS (which doesn't work) yet they still get our number from somewhere.
