Hi Damon
TPS is Telephone Preference Service.
The explanation given on their website www.tps-online.org.uk is:-
What is TPS?
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a central opt out register whereby
individuals can register their wish not to receive unsolicited sales and
marketing telephone calls. It is a legal requirement that companies do not
make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS.
The original legislation was introduced in May 1999. It has subsequently
been updated and now the relevant legislation is the Privacy and Electronic
(EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
Who can register?
The term individual includes consumers at their residential address, sole
traders and, except in Scotland, partnerships.
How long will it take to become effective?
Once a number has been registered it will become effective in 28 days.
Is there any charge for registering?
No, it's free to register on the TPS.
Who pays for TPS?
No money is received from the Government to run the Service, the direct
marketing industry pays for it.
Having looked at the website, it looks as if there's a section where all the
companies/organisations who have signed up to TPS are listed. The site also
covers Corporate TPS, Mailing preference Service and Fax Preference Service.
Hope this helps.
