Cool, I've just blacklisted my first Spam caller with BT's CallProtect. It's a free service from BT which allows customers to blacklist unwanted callers. There's a web interface or you can do it from your plain old phone handset. BT automatically blacklist common spam callers with this service.
No I wasn't interested in Cavity Insulation and we've told them before it's a TPS registered phone.
BT are offering this free to people who rent their voice line from BT. You have to request it. After a call you can dial 1572 and blacklist the number which called you. There's also a web interface where you can manage the calls. It's called Call Protect.
All well and good, but bolted, stable, horse put in the right order might be more effective don't you think.
Time to wallop these spammers good and hard before they start trading and not introduce even more reactive technology surely. Why must the consumer of this sort of garbage always be the one to take on the responsibility and often at cost to themselves?
