fair point, it's a difficult one in that case. I always tend to give my mobile number to hospitals and doctors, at least if my phone reads out that it's with held I can choose to answer or just divert them to voicemail. Most medical centers do tend to leave voicemails.
cheers,
Mo.

The trouble is MO, is that we do have some friends who live overseas and we
do want to take those calls.

Hi John.
I would block calls from international numbers and also calls from with
held numbers. Your provider should be able to do this. since i've done
this, touch wood we've not had any nusence calls.
cheers,
Mo.

Hello list,

I am not sure if this is off-topic, but I am sure the moderator will let
me
know if it is.

I am registered with both the Telephone Preference Service and the Mobile
Preference Service which keeps the majority of nuisance calls from hitting
me. However I do still get a number of international calls which do get
through. That is, as I understand it, because TPS and MPS only cover calls
emanating from within the UK.

Both yesterday and today I have had a call from a withheld and an
international number that claims to be working on behalf of TPS. They
claim
to have been notified by my phone supplier that I have been receiving
international calls which turn out to be scams. After a few moments of
discussion with them and, of course, with no information being given by me
they have both abruptly hung up. In my view that proves they were both
scams.

So don't get caught by this new one.

I am aware that I can get things like call blockers and also  units such
as
true-call but I do not currently wish to do so. There are a few people who
may call the house who we do want to get through.




Regards, John
