Easy.

to be
a racist and be abusive.
You will get a red mark on your phone number. I've worked as a
contractor in call centers and have seen it happen.


The way things are going you might find the police at your door, after
you've been reported for "hate crimes". Simon.


I do not think it is an offense to be abusive to an unsolicited phone
call. Is unsolicited the correct word?


Interesting question ....

Superb!


BT sent me some blurb advertising their BT 6500 phones. The first review
I found was pretty damning about sound performance.

The BT site is rather discreet about how the claimed *caller withheld*
feature works so I went looking for the user manual. This fails to
mention it either.

Switched to answer phone and with the *caller display* service paid you
can obviously screen calls. I want something that tells unwanted callers
to **** off without me being charged for the service!
