how do i stop these calls??? please HELP.

Answer 1

Ring BT and get them to put a block on anonymous calls.



Then sign up to TPS (google it).

Its a free service and while it won't stop all 'cold calls' from business company's, it will stop 99.9% of them.



Good luck with the new baby :-)

It's cheap and gives you a great service!



I have been looking online for a reverse cell phone lookup service and came accross the reverse phone detective. I have tried to punch in a few cell numbers and they say they have information for some but not all numbers. If the number I type in comes up, they tell me where the phone is located, but only what state...

The free reverse telephone lookup doesn't works properly. To get interesting information, cash will must be paid. The free searches don't provide considerably more than what might be found through the telephone directory or personal information and they just need your email to send spam.

The service that I posted above is definitely the best service that I could find. You can have these kind of informations:



Want to know who is Calling



Need to find someone based on their Address



Find anyone by their Email address



Find by Name



and much more...



You ought to stay far from shady reverse telephone lookup destinations, undoubtedly you won't get any information after you make the installation. Remain faithful to a reputable reverse telephone lookup site like http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538 that has been on the market for a considerable measure of years. With their reverse cell phone lookup tool you can find out information behind any cell or land line number. Type in the persons cell phone number and you will be given access to their report, including name cell and land line numbers, and address.



It can be used also for a much deeper search. People wanting to get hold of all kinds of background reports, as well as cell phone numbers, addresses and names..



Trust it! It's a great service.

Bell Stentor has a service available that redirects unidentified calls to an internal message where you can leave a number to call back.

The voice message sounds like "The subsciber you are calling has chosen not to accept unidentified numbers from inbound callers. Please leave your name and a number where you can be recalled".



Very often telemarketers have unidentified numbers and this will stop them cold. Their automated out dialers will not leave a message and the phones ringer will remain quiet. I'm sure your friends are well aware of your situation and they will respect your schedule and just make a point of calling them when you have a free minute (ha - I remember like yesterday when my daughter arrived 23 years ago and get tired just thinking about it).



There is also a national 'no call' database. Most marketers abide by this request but the calls will not stop right away. It usualyy takes up to 30 days to stop 90 percent of the calls.



The only indicator is a beeping dial tone rather than ringing. All cell phones are unlisted by design. Use these for emergency notification.



Congratulations in advance on your new arrival. All the best.

As said above, if you're in the UK BT will cut off most of your nuisance calls. If you don't have a phone where you can read who is calling (normally charged for) they will provide the service free. You have still to provide the phone with a screen. They're not dear. This still doesn't stop all calls getting through but you can just not answer witheld numbers. This though gives a problem if you have a family member or friend who permanently withods their number. My daughter does. Looks like it's something we've got to live with.

Reading your question again, I can see you might need to switch off your phone, or unplug it at night. People you need to be in touch with all the time can be given a secret mobile number.

Answer 5

contact bt or if you deal with your account on line you can do it their but to stop with held numbers you need to subscribe to anonymous callers rejection this costs about £10.00 every 3 months i have it on my phone as i was getting fed up with people calling and with holding their number its well worth having

Answer 6

Phone BT [freephone] Inform them, They will Monitor your Phone, Once they Trace the Offender They can be Taken to Court, Sadly they wont Inform you who is Doing it...Good Luck!
