Sounds promising. I am intrigued to see TalkTalk block 75 million nuisance calls per week.We are with Talk Talk and can enter a code to block the last number called. This is fine but is limited to 10 numbers and this particular call was a private number as are so many, so we have no chance.I see most people get at least one nuisance call per month. There are days when we get 6 or more including all the PPI and accident people.I guess this is because we are in more than many people.
Try registering with The Telephone Preference Service, I've found it works. From their website :- The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a free service. It is the official central opt out register on which you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. It is a legal requirement that all organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so. Thanks for the thought but I registered with TPS a few years back and found it made no difference at all so now have BT8500 on order from Amazon, 4 handsets for £85.

Sorry to sound thick, but do you have to be with B.T for these 'phones to work?

ludwigvan, I have the BT 8500 cordless phone & after years of getting up to 10 unsolicited called/ day this new phone has stopped them all, withheld numbers & international calls. It doesn't even ring, just stops them in their tracks, brilliant!

I am delighted, I ordered the BT8500 on Thursday evening and they arrived this morning .Well done Amazon. I am pleased to say four nuisance calls today and not one of them came through. Many thanks for the recommendations folks.Really good that you can see what has been blocked in case you want that call.
