My parents seem to be on the same list! They get calls at least twice a week - mainly congratulating them on the savings they are about to make on their phone bill. One crowd had them switched over based just on the conversation - thank god for the cooling off period. The folks aren't doddery and won't get caught again; the power of being rude and hanging upNewsletter said:I am curious though as to who is receiving the bulk of the calls. Just recently my elderly parents were complaining about both of the above.

Thanks for the info re the NDD - going to check that out for them.
And I see some of the posters here have sympathy for the poor cold callers - well IMHO they are the lowest of the low and don't care about the vulnerable people they maybe calling. May they eventually spend eternity in the great call centre in the sky; on hold.

The regulations require each customer who does not want direct-marketing calls to contact their own service provider. So that's probably the number for IFA customers only.Jack The Lad said:Phone 1800 923 853 and log your telephone number. After approx. 4 weeks you will receive no more calls from those ~~~~'s. I don't know how or why it works, but it does. IFA TELECOM sent this number to all their customers.FARMER POWER!!!!
It's more than 28 days since I opted out & I got yet another call from someone representing 'TalkTalk'.2Pack said:They are non compliant with a Comreg regulation called the CPS Code Of Practice. Talk Talk were done for this a year ago , see
