Re: Phone number change

Hi there,
You'd need to pay the renumber fee upfront, from a credit or debit card.
Is it just one number that you're having problems with?

Re: Phone number change

that one annoyed me for about three weeks, has been stopped now for about a month, I eventually played dumb and started answering the silly sod on the other end, when he was getting nowhere sensible, he rang off, not heard from them since

Re: Phone number change

These muppets just are not giving up,calls at all times of the day and sometimes more than 4 times in one hour,already have a saved call in my answer machine about winning some stupid prize and to 'press one', its becoming annoying now.
Plusnet am i still ex-directory? if you would not mind checking that would be great.

Re: Phone number change

I was thinking along the lines of Choose to Refuse.
Basically it allows you to block individual numbers at the exchange level, using a PIN code.
It costs £7.50 per quarter, which is much cheaper than a renumber, and most people find they don't need it for more than 6 months.

Re: Phone number change

It's not offered as a general feature, just as a manual process where it may be suitable.
I can arrange it for you if you like, as can anyone in our support team, but it will take 24 hours to implement.
