aibu to be really really really annoyed

[DaisyDaresYOU]

With nuisance phone calls?someone from newcastle keeps leaving me voice mails for someone else about work experience I've had some dundee bailiffs leave me voice mails asking for mr(my last name) I've had strange numbers phoning me every bloody month.welsh and 12digit numbers.how can i stop these pests?I've even had a voice mail that rings then cuts off im on contract so cant just change my sim.Any advice would be appreciated

Won't your service provider let you change your number, if you explain the situation to them?

But would it end though.Im wondering how people are getting hold of my number tbh.I sent a what the bloody hell is going on post to my provider and that i feel like coming of their network cos im sick of it.

Register with the TPS (telephone preference service) and you will cut out most, if not all of the "junk" calls.

Is the TPS (telephone preference service) not just for landlines though.

Have you tried googling your phone number and seeing if it is wrongly listed for someone else. I am sure the TPS will only stop cold calling, not wrong numbers ie the bailiffs trying to trace someone.

I googled the strange looking numbers sounds like most of them are scams.which is why i won't answer.

Phone your provider and tell them you are being inundated with scams and junk calls and that you need them to do something about it.

threaten to give notice on them. Tell them you never gave them permission to sell your number, and that you will report them to ofcom if you have to.

Have you rung the bailifs to find out what is going on there?

Agree these calls are a major PITA but I think answering them wastes the callers time and money so I try to do that. Sometimes can't be arsed tho must admit.

Well i worry being on contract phoning them or answering incase its added on to my bill
