They keep ringing my number even though I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list.

I’ve no idea who this caller might be, nor do I know anyone from the Orkney region or its neighbouring areas. However, I stumbled upon some information indicating that this number has been flagged as a ‘Nuisance’ call. My number is also unlisted, and I’ve grown utterly exasperated with these persistent calls-like the one I received this evening at half seven! Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service for over a decade, it feels as though nothing has changed. To combat this constant annoyance, I’ve invested in phones equipped with call blocking features to shield myself from these interruptions and to reclaim my time. I trust that eventually, these callers will take the hint! (I find it amusing to let my phone handle the situation, ha!) Honestly, these phones have turned out to be a worthwhile investment.

I’m not listed in the directory and tend to keep my number close to my chest, so I can only guess that this must be some sort of automated calling system. Fortunately, my new mobile has a brilliant feature that screens out unwanted callers! 😊

I've stopped answering calls altogether. Being ex-directory clearly doesn't make a difference. What's the point of even putting in a request like this?

How on earth is this number managing to reach ex-directory contacts? It’s quite baffling!

Received a rather dodgy phone call this morning from a young lady claiming it was all about energy savings. But let me tell you, it was anything but! It turned out to be a rather pushy pitch aimed at getting people to sign up for home improvements. I asked her where she had obtained my number, but the first lass was as elusive as can be. Then, the supervisor came on, and honestly, he was a right piece of work-full of attitude and utterly incapable of grasping straightforward English. Both of them had that distinct Glaswegian accent, but still no answers were forthcoming. The supervisor’s attitude really rubbed me the wrong way. So, armed with the number, I’ve decided to reach out to my local Trading Standards.

I’ve simply given up on picking up my phone these days; it’s perpetually set to voicemail. It's rather baffling how these individuals obtain my number, especially since I'm not listed. This nonsense really ought to come to an end; they’re an utter nuisance!

Absolutely infuriating call centre experience!

I received a call from a bloke with a Scottish accent, but it seemed accidental. The moment I started to chat, he just hung up. Quite peculiar!

I've had enough of this number; it needs to be put on the blacklist!

Whenever I pick up the phone, there’s nothing but silence on the other end, yet I can hear a cacophony of chatter in the background. It's as if I'm connected to some sort of call centre!

The phone rang several times but didn’t leave a voicemail. I often missed the call, so I've no idea who it might be.
