    If its a land line you can barr and number where the caller witholds their number. you will still get REAL private numbers tho just not 141 ones.

    Call BT helpdesk and they can do it.

    Che's mam has it done....... dont ask me how i know.

    its them automatic dialer systems!

    they ring up random numbers and then connect u thru to an operator (if one is available)

    otherwise u just get silence.

    He's right... if your name is on any sales campaigns database then it will be put on an automatic dialler, if there is no agent to take your call when you answer then it appears to be just a dead line!! :evil:

    When you eventually speak to someone (after 20 dodgy calls) go ape shit i would :lol:

    in love with annie
    register with the telephone preference service, think you can do it online now or just by calling the automated number on their site.

    takes 30 days to complete the registration but you should stop recieving the calls after then.
