Default A nuisance caller got through TruCall

This is the first to get through the net, since I installed
our BT 8500's with the TruCall system 8-o .


The system logged a series of calls from 01134196912. Which at first
glance suggested it might have been a genuine and local number, so
I tried ringing it back and it rang unanswered, though it did sound a
bit odd the ringing tone. The caller had failed to announce their name
and press # to get through in each of their calls.


Why the feck would you ring an unknown cold caller back?


So you can put that number or the part of it that
indicates that it isnt a real number in the blacklist.

Seems to negate the whole point in buying a TruCall unit in the first
place.


No it doesnt.

Now you've also confirmed that your number
has a potentially gullible person on the end of it.


Sure, but it can't get thru again once its in the blacklist.
