3 yearsGot a strange call from some bloke who seemed to want my personal info. They keep saying it’s from Yell, but I’ve never even used Yell before. If you’re gonna ring me, at least try to speak some proper English and stop trying to nick my details, you muppet.AsiaYell7 yearsThis number is just someone from Yell trying to sell something.Yell7 yearsGot a call from this call centre in Manila, Philippines. They’re obviously paid next to nothing and don’t seem bothered since they work for a dodgy company named Yell that’s all about cold calling. It’s clear they’re short on cash and stuck in these grim call centre jobs. Occasionally, you also receive calls from a Scottish call centre where decent work is pretty rare as well.ManilaYell7 yearsScotch is actually a type of whisky, not just a random drink.7 yearsThis number has called me a few times. Today, when it showed up, I let it ring through to voicemail. It looked like they were about to leave a message but never actually did. I wasn't able to end the call normally, so I ended up blocking the number. When I tried to check my voicemail by dialling 1571, it said the line was busy. Somehow, they kept the line tied up. I had to switch off the phone and unplug it to fix the problem. Just a warning, I don’t reckon this number is genuine.7 yearsThis was Yell confirming the details they have for our listing. Her accent was quite thick so I didn’t catch every word, but she did repeat the info from last year’s listing and didn’t request any new details from me.Yell7 yearsThis is a YELL[###] number, so yeah, it’s just one of those random cold calls.7 yearsNo one ever picks up when I answer, might be some call centre. Blocked now.7 yearsDodgy call trying to con me.8 yearsLoads of calls where nobody talks properly, sounds like a call centre to me.8 yearsI saw a missed call from this number and thought it was local, so I gave it a ring back but it just said number not found!8 yearsIts definitely Yell and legit. Not like what the other comments up here are saying. Yeah, the lady sounds Asian, they ring me once a year without fail, just to confirm my info for a free ad spot on Yell and see if anything’s changed, and to offer me an upgrade to a Pro ad. Completely genuine.Yell8 yearsYet another tedious cold call that’s really got on my nerves. I was under the impression these types of calls had been banned!8 yearsNo voicemail left. Looked up the number - total spam. Got it blocked now.8 yearsGot a call from 01246 29090 and then just a few mins later, the phone rang again from 01189129771. Seems like these calls have increased now that the New Year is here.8 yearsSame old rubbish, no one answering, number blocked, annoying call so early in the morning, just silence. Probably some telemarketers just fishing for a sale.8 yearsPut them on mute.8 yearsComplete idiot who can hardly speak proper English, BLOCKED!8 yearsQuiet at first then a voice that sounded like some weird foreign language, maybe some telemarketer or someone just trying to mess with my schedule, fingers crossed y’all block these folks and stay true to yourselves.8 yearsWhat a thoroughly annoying sales caller! They really ought to be prohibited from making calls. I’m ex-directory for crying out loud-how on earth did they get hold of my number? To top it off, they left a ridiculous message full of laughter. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour!8 yearsThis definitely ain't your neighbourhood curry place.8 yearsGot another call despite being on the TPS. No message left though, since my answerphone picks up all the time now. I noticed folks saying it's supposedly someone from Yell. Just to clear it up, Yell actually ring from an Irish number, 02890305137. They can be pushy, but at least you know who’s calling!TPTYellIreland8 yearsDidn’t pick up. Got a silent voicemail.8 yearsNot sure whats going on but after reading these comments I’m glad I didn’t answer. They tried ringing me twice within 10 seconds!8 yearsThey rang but didnt bother to leave a voicemail.8 yearsSo frustrating, I just end up hanging up on them every time! Really wish I could get through and tell them exactly what I think!8 yearsReceived a couple of calls from this number and every time I pick up, they just drop the line. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it, just like I do with loads of other unwanted callers.8 yearsGot a call but no one said anything, didn't leave a message either - seems like a scam to me.8 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just cut the call. Classic mass calling firm that only speaks to whoever is first on the line. Chucked em onto my spam list straight away.8 yearsGot a guy with an Asian accent saying he was from Yell[###], wanting to update our listing. Bit odd coz they called just last week too. Definitely felt fishy and like he was trying to get my personal info. Gave me a freephone number to ring him back on, which made me more suspicious.8 yearsThey called me but I didn’t pick up. When I checked their voicemail, it was just dead silence. So, I looked up the number on Google and boom! Ended up right here.Google8 yearsProper muppet with a dodgy hairpiece.8 yearsI got a call from an Asian guy claiming he was ringing about a free listing of our business on Yell[###], wanting to update our info. I told him to wait a sec and checked his number on my caller ID. After seeing loads of bad reviews about this number, I told him I’d looked into it and they weren’t legit Yell[###] people, then I just hung up. I even tried to ring back myself (blocking my own number) and it doesn’t exist. Sounds like some call centre overseas pretending to be from the UK. DO NOT give them any details.YellAsiaUK8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Yell, but it felt like a total scam or one of those pesky telemarketers.Yell8 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Yell[###], asking about my free listing. It was an Asian bloke who couldn’t even spell my business name properly, claiming he wanted to update my listing. I told him, “How do you think I put up my free listing? I did it myself by logging into yell[###].” I said I don’t need any changes, but if I did, I’d just do it myself online. Then he said, “Alright, we’ll send a letter then!” A letter for what, exactly? Nah, I told him bye and hung up.Yell8 yearsSomebody pretending to be from Yell trying to renew my listing. I've nearly fallen for this kind of thing before, so I let them know in no uncertain terms what I think!Yell8 yearsTried calling but nobody answered.8 yearsGot a call from some Asian lady, she just said hello but I could hardly catch what she said, then she just dropped the call.8 yearsThey rang me but didn’t say anything when I answered. So I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call with no sound, left a voicemail that looked just like the ones other people mentioned here. They hung up straight away, so I blocked the number. Cheers to everyone for sharing their stories.8 yearsDeep Asian accent on the line. I just cut the call off immediately like I normally do. Honestly, when will these annoying calls stop?8 yearsThe caller was from Yell, sounded like they had a strong Asian accent.8 yearsNo one said a word when I picked up. They just ended the call.8 yearssome bloke who couldnt even say the word yell properly... clearly no English at all so I just ended the call8 yearsJust got a call from Yelp[###], probably some marketing push.Yelp8 yearsThey said they were from yell[###], but really they're just gathering your info to sell it, pretending like they're helping you out.8 yearsGot a call from this number at about 5.15pm today, there was a bit of silence then a bloke with an Asian accent said he was calling from Yell. I told him straight he’s a scammer and definitely not from Yell, then he just ended the call.Yell8 yearsGot a call from this number around 5.15pm today. After a bit of silence, a bloke with an Asian accent said he was ringing from Yell. I told him he was a con and didn't work for Yell at all, then he just ended the call.Yell8 yearsKeep pushing to get you to buy an upgrade.8 yearsGot a call from this number on Thursday 24th May 2018 around 3.03pm. When I answered, there was complete silence - sounded like an automated dialler, probably one of those telemarketing places, so I just hung up straight away.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Yell, saying they were just updating their records. After I answered a few questions, they started asking about marketing and advertising stuff. To me, it felt like a sales call trying to fish for info rather than a genuine update.Yell8 yearsKept saying it’s yell details update or something like that. Sounded fishy to me.8 yearsMy phone was on answer, but the person didn't leave any voicemail. Pretty sure it was one of those annoying cold calls.8 yearsGot a ring from this number on Friday 11th May 2018 at around 11.51am. There was nothing but silence when I answered, so I figured it was one of those annoying cold calls. I waited a bit for anyone to say anything, but when noone did, I just hung up. Not interested at all.8 yearsGot a recorded message from someone called Paul at Yell- Business Pages, asking me to confirm if my business info was correct and gave a freephone number 0800 777457 to ring back. Seems like they follow up on spammy emails they send out weeks before, pushing you to pay for an upgrade from the free listing. Best just ignore it and block the number if you’re not interested.PaulYellPages8 yearsGot another ring from someone saying they’re with YELL. Left a voicemail saying we’re on their business list and asked for us to ring them back to verify info. Nope, not interested.YELL8 yearsThis number has been ringing me every day for several days now. I don’t usually answer calls from unknown numbers and just let the answerphone take it. Every time, the woman on the other end keeps saying hello like someone answered, then goes quiet for a bit before hanging up.8 yearsI directed that pesky cold caller to take a long walk off a short pier! There’s truly nothing more irksome than receiving a rehearsed sales pitch when you haven’t asked for it!8 yearsGot a recorded voice of some bloke trying to sell ad spots on Yell’s site.Yell8 yearsReceived a call from someone named "Hayley" from yell.com. Blimey, she rattled on at such a breakneck pace that I simply couldn't be bothered to decipher what she was on about. Honestly, it’s high time this company picked up some decent phone etiquette!HayleyBlimey8 yearsGot a call from a woman saying she was "Hayley" from Yell[###], but she talked so quick I couldn't even keep up. If this is legit, Yell really needs to teach their reps how to actually talk to folks properly.HayleyYell8 yearsI received a call this morning from a woman with an Asian accent who was rather forceful in her approach. She repeatedly inquired whether my mobile was a business line. Upon responding negatively, she then probed for my home number. I decided to hang up at that point.8 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded asian and there was loads of background noise, probs a call centre. I just ended the call.8 yearsFunny enough, i got a call from that exact same number and the bloke sounded like a proper chav! Like he never finished school and he was attempting to get me to sign up for more yell services or something.Yell8 yearsjust stays quiet and then ends the call.8 yearsSounds like it’s probably from Yell, doesn’t it?Yell8 yearsWho can say. If they can’t get through my BT call blocker, they’re just blocked.sidenote, before I had the blocker, Inoticed that yelling ‘hello’ over and over would often make them hang up. defo better than trying to learn swahili!8 yearswho can say really. anyone who tries to get past my bt call blocker just gets blocked straight away. p.s. back when i didn’t have the blocker, loudly yelling 'hello' a few times usually made them hang up. better than trying to learn a new language!8 yearsBlimey, Yell.com really knows how to hammer you with their sales tactics, don’t they? If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, just let the chap ramble on and do his spiel; it might just make his day! Then you can politely decline their offer and be on your way. 😂👍Yell. com8 yearsA rather persistent and loud sales chap, I must say. He wouldn’t take no for an answer and kept harping on, even when I clearly indicated that it was a dreadful moment for me. Quite off-putting, to say the least!9 yearsJust got cut off without a word.
