Very likely - it was an American voice. Damn!

At home I'm TPS-registered, ex-directory and have a very peaceful
existence. *However I recently stayed in a rented house in the US, where
I was bombarded daily by automated calls during which a recorded voice
would extol me to buy insurance, a new car etc etc. Completely
intolerable - I don't know how anyone could live with that!

We are too, and never get any nuisance calls. However, I recently
discovered why I only ever seem to get my brother's voicemail - that
he won't answer any "Private Number" calls (which is how ex-directory
is shown). BT told me that if I prepend 1470 to the call the number
will show up - sort of like 141 in reverse.
