Suddenly plagued by calls on my mobile from a Bob call centre....

Yes, but unless the OP is a woman, they're unlikely to be using a Windows phone.

Huh? Most of the women I know have/want iPhones.

The Mr Number app is great for blocking numbers. You don't have to put them in your contact list, just select to either hang up or force it to voicemail. I block 'numbers beginning with..." (for example 0843) so you don't have to list individual numbers. This is also good for spammers who use various numbers from call centres so if I don't know anyone in the area the call is from I just block the whole area code.

I also report spam texts to get the number blocked. I think a few of the providers do it but it certainly works with Three. When you get a spam text forward it to 7726 (SPAM on the number pad) and they send a text back asking for the number the text came from. They'll acknowledge your text and say they will block the number.

Windows phone has a pretty decent block number facility as standard.

I've got a Sony Xperia and it hasn't got a block facility for numbers that aren't in the contact list.

I used to add the numbers to my contact list under the name "Do not answer" and then set their ringtone to a wav file of a few seconds silence. It rings at their end and then goes to voicemail (of course they don't leave a message), I don't hear it ring and see a missed called from "Do not answer" later on. Works a treat for me.

You can also add it as a contact "tw@t" and then block it. I thought you might also be able to get your provider to block the number but maybe not.

I'm working in a couple of loan brokerages now, the way they pass 'leads' and sell on data is pretty shocking.

Funnily enough I got my 1st junk call last week.

I blocked the number but I'm not sure if it's going to do any good.

01904 406022 is another one

[Uncle Albert]

Not sure why, but I don't think I've had a junk call on my mobile for well over a year now.

Anyway, do you have a bank account?

[Sean Key]

I think they are going down the PPP claim road but to do with bank accounts with built in benefits. 2 calls to my work mobile in 5 minutes...

Their first question 'do you have a bank account'

Is any one else getting this?
