Default Nuisance calls near zero

Actually you are unique. An examination of my True call logs sees people
just hanging up when asked for their name. Some recordings do get through,
but I understand some new version of true call software now asks the caller
to say their name and press hash, which stops the caller using a pre
recorded message.

I think the pre recorded ones are in the minority, most of the annoying ones
are people pretending to do a survey to get around the tps list.
Most just move on to the next mug cos they know I'm unaware of anyone
calling and will zap them if they get through after saying their name.

Since I fitted a set of phones with the TruCall call filter system, the

I don't really understand why - most of these callers just ring and play
a recording anyway, so the callers would not even be aware their calls
have been blocked. Which rather suggests that something has been done
nationally to put a stop to these callers.


Removing our landline stopped *all* nuisance calls.

Been over a year now - no adverse effects.
