Default Nuisance calls near zero

Interesting item on the radio yesterday about Vodafone introducing a new
system to block nuisance calls. Apparently blocked 400,000 calls in one
day. Maybe other phone companies are doing likewise?


It appears Vodaphone are blocking both ways. When they detect a scam
with a return premium rate phone number they block customers from
ringing it.

It would help if organisations such as the TPS took action against _UK_
companies who use unsolicited cold calls originating outside the UK to
gain business rather than just washing their hands of the problem
because its not a call made from the UK.
