You could ask your provider to remove you from their public database. (this does not mean removing you from the telephone directory. what it means is you not receiving 'cold calls', i.e., those advertising other goods and services or conducting surveys, etc.)

Other than that is there a way of filtering their number that you do not get the call? ----- Original Message ----- From: roslynallman@xxxxxxxxx

Had a third one of these this morning, hadn't had one in a while. Told them as read about from somebody on the list that I didn't have a computer. They hung up straight away, thanks.
