We don't get many telesales calls now, registering for telepreferencing does cut it down, but as soon as a call sounds suspicious (ie they can't pronounce the surname) I ask "what are you selling?" the answer is almost always that they are not selling anything, so I let them prattle on until kitchens/double glazing/xxxx is mentioned then I say "So you're selling xxxx. We're on telepreferencing and you're telling lies" and hang up.
Instead of hanging up, find out who they are and report them. Much more satisfying as I think I am right in saying there is a hefty fine for *each call* annoying telepreference registered people. > if there's no message doing 1471 to find out who was calling. > I hope all UK arachnes are aware that BT (and maybe other phone providers) have now very stealthily introduced a charge if you use the press 3 to call a number obtained via 1471 . Minimum publicity on this one, of course, and I got caught out.
