I’ve posted on this before. I received about 7 of these calls. The first few times I either put the phone down or threatened reporting the caller to the TPS but they kept calling back. The 7th time I took whatever good can be taken from the newsstory posted above and unleashed a absolute tantra of abuse down the phone at the operator. He gave some measly abuse back but I haven’t been contacted by them in over a month so could be the solution (i’m afraid )

I encourage everyone to ensure they are registered with the TPS. If you are receiving repeated calls from this number, and they are silent, or you have asked them to stop calling, consider filing a complaint with the Information Commissioners Office, the part of the government which deals with this kind of problem.

I live on the Isle of Wight and I’ve had 2 calls today from the number and numerous times during the past week. Each time being silent and when I speak they hang up. I too am registered with TPS. Is there anyway to speak to them or to block it completely?

They keep on ringing here and waking up my baby etc, normally the line goes dead but I have asked them a few times to take my details off their list - they just hang up before you even finish the sentence. Will keep them talking to the cushion next time and complain to TPS, thanks a lot. We are also registered not to have cold calls, but hey!
Btw live in St. Albans/Herts

Googled this number too today (19/4/06) as they called 3 times, each time with a silent line.
I am in Birmingham and again with TPS subscription active.
Can BT block this number?
