This number keeps ringing me, but whenever I pick up, there's nothing but dead air on the line. It's becoming rather tiresome, especially since I don’t fancy receiving these calls considering I’m listed as ex-directory.

They just won’t stop ringing, but no one ever picks up. It’s a load of nonsense, probably something to do with JD Williams.

I’m absolutely fed up with this number ringing me multiple times a day! Every time I pick up, it’s just several seconds of awkward silence because they’re obviously dialing loads of other people at once, waiting to see who picks up first. It’s infuriating! Now, I don’t even bother to answer when I see it pop up on my screen; if I accidentally pick up without checking, I just hang up the moment I hear that dreadful silence. Honestly, I wish there was a way to put an end to these irritating callers because it’s beyond annoying!

I've had the misfortune of picking up the phone only for the line to go dead, and it's happened twice today! Doesn't it dawn on these callers that this approach is simply infuriating and counterproductive? I mean, who would be inclined to buy anything like this? Plus, for those of us using providers like Carphone Warehouse or TalkTalk, we’re actually footing the bill for these annoying interruptions. Oh wait, I’m with TalkTalk myself!

I recently received a call from 0116 242 1980, and the person on the other end insisted they were with TalkTalk. However, I’m rather sceptical about their legitimacy. They used my full name when addressing me, which raised a few eyebrows, and then proceeded to inquire if I was the account holder for TalkTalk. It soon became apparent that their intention was to peddle mobile phone contracts through what seems to be cold calling. I can’t help but think it’s rather unlikely that TalkTalk would engage in such practices, so I’m raising my guard. Quite dodgy if you ask me!

These nuisance calls just won't quit! They keep ringing me up, each time pretending to be from a different company. Normally, I wouldn't even bother picking up, but I'm on edge awaiting a crucial call. It's so frustrating, especially since I've signed up with the Telephone Preference Service to avoid such interruptions!

Today, I received a call from this number and it’s not the first time either. It simply can't be a legitimate call from Talk Talk, given that I'm not even one of their customers. Over the past few months, there have been three different numbers that seem to ring me at intervals; it’s almost like clockwork. For a week or two, I get hounded by these calls and, interestingly, they all seem to land around the same time. The number in question claims to be Talk Talk, while one is supposedly from WWF, and another is linked to Hillarys Blinds. Perhaps I’m mistaken, but it strikes me as peculiar that they might all be sharing some sort of contact list. It’s just very strange that I could go months without a peep and then suddenly find myself inundated with calls from all three of them in quick succession. I find these repeated interruptions rather infuriating. My phone needs to be available for emergencies and dear friends and family to reach me, yet these constant unsolicited calls drain my battery and prevent me from getting through to the people I genuinely want to talk to. I often have to silence my phone, and as a result, I frequently miss crucial calls.

This number keeps ringing me up, despite my number being ex-directory, trying to sell me deals on gas, electricity, broadband and the like. When I asked where they had my number, they said it was from the catalogue company J D Williams. I've never used them, so I know that's not true. The only ones who should have my number are family and Talk Talk. I’m convinced Talk Talk must have passed my details to an outside company. This kind of thing really shouldn’t happen when you’ve paid to keep your number ex-directory.

I’ve been receiving persistent phone calls from these individuals, despite being ex-directory, all attempting to pitch me various deals on gas, electricity, broadband, and so forth. When I challenged them regarding how they obtained my number, they mentioned it was from a catalogue firm named J D Williams. Oddly enough, I've never had any interaction with that company, and the only folks privy to my phone number are my family and my provider, Talk Talk. I’ve asked them to erase my information from their records, yet the calls keep flooding in!

This particular number has been an absolute nuisance. They’ve tried to ring me not once, but twice this evening, on the 9th of December, 2015. I’ve chosen not to pick up as I don’t recognise the digits, but it’s rather concerning. As someone with a disability, I can’t fathom how they’ve managed to acquire my number, especially since I’m ex-directory. It seems like it doesn’t really matter, though; I'm sure they’ve got some sort of automated system blitzing through a sea of numbers, and then, voilà, they’ve disturbed someone innocent. Do these so-called “callers” derive some sort of thrill from this? I’m thoroughly disgusted with whoever is behind these calls.

I received a call from a number that resembled mine-something like 001534, while my own is 01534-at least three times a day! Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to pick up. To my surprise, there was someone on the line, chattering away in what sounded like a heavy Indian accent. Honestly, I could only grasp a few words, something about computers, but I suspect he comprehended what I was saying! Quite the baffling experience, I must say!

Some company called U-Swtch or something like that keeps ringing me up about my gas and electric provider. They bother me daily, even two times a day sometimes. I told them I’m on the Telephone Preference Service and asked them to remove me from their calls - they had no clue what that was and just carried on asking loads of questions, so I ended up hanging up.

I'm receiving calls from this number every single day. I typically don't pick up calls from unknown numbers as a rule, but these persistent callers are rather bothersome.

I received a rather peculiar phone call from this number earlier today. The woman on the line was chirpy and cheery, claiming to be from Talk Talk. She asked me how I was doing, and I, quite frankly, told her I was struggling after receiving news of a bereavement in my family. You won't believe her response! She expressed her sympathies but then insisted it would only take a minute of my time. I flat-out told her I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for that. Then, she had the audacity to ask when would be a more suitable time to ring me back. This was certainly not Talk Talk-what a lack of decency!

Please, continue giving us a bell! We have absolutely no dealings with Talk Talk whatsoever. They persistently inquire about a Mrs Burke. This seems to be their sneaky tactic to get around the rules on unsolicited calls. They’ll claim it’s all a mix-up with a number, then attempt their sales spiel if they’re given half a chance. Honestly, just hang up and save yourself the bother!

The number 0116 242 1980 hails from Leicester. According to Oftel's records, numbers that begin with 0116 2421 are designated to BT. However, it’s worth noting that subscribers can switch to alternative providers, like Virgin or TalkTalk, should they choose to sign up with a new service.

Blimey! Those TalkTalk representatives keep ringing me incessantly, relentlessly pushing their so-called TV Package. Despite being registered with the TPS, the calls just keep coming! They assured me the package would be sent over for free, but I repeatedly told them I wasn’t interested. The agent persisted, insisting it was free, and despite my firm refusals, they just wouldn't take no for an answer. In the end, she just hung up on me! Just a heads up to others: it feels dodgy, and I’d be wary of their offerings - nothing’s truly free in this world, right? They’re just after you to agree to their terms. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour!
