I guess it's a lot for permies (or in a few minutes it might be a lot for contractors as well)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Blocking international and unavailable numbers certainly cuts down the number of cold calls. An added bonus is I don't get any phone calls from my brother in US.bloggoth

I've been getting these. Used to get the odd one every few months or so but they've ramped up in the last week or two. I have a call blocker on my phone which I think does actually work.
I like the whistle by the phone suggestion.
I usually stick it near the telly, they can listen to the endless Christmas adverts.

My call blocker is the best: the only thing the phone line's connected to is my broadband router. I almost never get nuisance calls
My Galaxy S8 on the other hand has a nice feature where I can block (and optionally report) any incoming call so that number never bothers me again. I only answer calls where I know the number - anything else and if they're not prepared to leave a voicemail telling me why they want my time, I just ignore it, can't be that important.Comment
