How to stop Cold Calls

If you want to stop cold call... get an answer machine..... most call senders recongise that and disconnect the call immediately.

Get CLI on your line and everytime you get on with CLI on it mark it as JunkCaller.... you know then not to pick it up.

The third way...... ask Parliment to increase the cost of calls..... so it is too expensive to waste your time.

One word of advice....... never be rude to the caller..... because if they have a mind to they will put you back into the Call Sender to be called back and they will put notes on them to say you are very interested but had no time to deal with it and requested a call back...... most of these firm are outside of the UK so our regs do not apply.... :o)
