You can try registering with the TPS Telephone Preference Service it

I *am* registered with the TPS but these calls would get round that because
they are not sales calls but 'advice calls' and as I said you have to press
2
to speak to an 'advisor' but they don't say where they are calling from.

If the intention is to sell you something at the end of the advice then (as
far as the legislation is concerned) it's a sales call, however hard they
try to pretend otherwise.

I accept that the distinction is moot with regards to calls originating from
overseas call centres
