Like it. I usually still say I'm registered with the TPS and could they
not call me. Mostly they say 'Sorry' very politely and hang up.

Same here.

The problem with this approach is that the company should filter out
telephone numbers which are registered with TPS. Some telesales companies
purchase lists of numbers from unscrupious sources where the numbers
aren't filtered out. It is the fault of the telesales companies and they
deserve all that they get.

We get very few such calls, perhaps two a year. I get more wrong numbers.

What I dislike more is text messages from numbers I don't recognise and
which don't give names yet the messages seem to be designed to make the
recipient interested enough to ring back. For example, one yesterday said
something like, "we're leaving early for our holiday tomorrow, i'll think of
you". I never have rung back.
