Hi ann I have my landline for my Mum really I use my mobile all the time but when that "unknown" number comes up I cant help myself but that's only cause I want it to stop tbh

I don't even answer my landline now. Anyone who needs me gets me on my mobile. If a unknown number or a number comes up on my mobile who I don't know, it don't get answered. Cant be bothered

Lol Maggie beggars belief eh?

I had 'Barry' call me this morning.
It was about my faulty IT equipment.
I immediately told him I have no IT equipment, not even a mobile, as he'd called my only phone - my land-line.
Byeeeeeee

Hi Ladies I just find it really annoying and when I say I have caller preference they just ask for the head of the house!!! That will be me then lol although OH gave one an earhole full earlier I was in stitches.

They drive me mad too as they always seem to call just when we are eating.

I have three responses that I use depending on how I feel.

1. I have bought a whistle and don't mind using it (although I really don't have the same puff as my son so don't make too much noise).

2. I just put the phone down.

3. If I have nothing better to do I engage them in conversation and ask all sorts of questions and keep them on the line for as long as possible. Then when they think I'm an easy target I simply ask them if they like their time being wasted because I don't and then put the phone down.

Number 3 is the most satisfying but I can't always be bothered.

or ask if they would like the numberof your card now or later they put the phone down :-D :-D

Grrrrrr! I have had 3 cold calls today AND I have caller preference these companies just don't seem to care that they are not supposed to ring your number if you have caller preference. I had some women telling me to just listen to what she had to say and that she wasn't selling anything so I said well then you must be a friend of mine then because those are the only calls I get she went silent and put the phone down. Sadly they never show a number so next time I am going to be calm and ask who she represents. Does it get you goat too?
