Even though I’ve signed up with the TPS, I keep getting calls on my number. It’s so annoying how they don’t seem to care about the registration.

Absolutely no idea who this was or where they’re from... definitely don’t know anyone in Orkney or nearby areas. I saw somewhere else that these calls are considered 'annoying nuisance' calls. My number’s ex-directory too, yet I keep getting these calls all the time - tonight it was at about 7.30pm! Even being on the TPS for over a decade hasn’t really stopped them. Eventually, I got fed up and invested in phones with call blockers to avoid the hassle and time wasting. Hopefully it sends a clear message to these callers! I mostly just let the phone handle it, lol. So far, these gadgets have been well worth the money.

I keep my number unlisted and never share it with anyone I don’t trust, so I’m guessing this must be some kind of robocall. Luckily, my new phone has a feature that stops those annoying calls now :)

Now I just ignore all phone calls. What’s the point of being unlisted if you still get rang up? Feels like a waste of asking for it.

How come this number is managing to ring ex-directory phones? Seems odd that it’s getting through like that.

This morning I got a phone call from a young woman claiming it was about saving on energy bills. Turned out it was just a sales pitch trying to get me to agree to some work. When I asked where they found my number, the first girl dodged it, then the supervisor took over. Both spoke with Glaswegian accents and honestly seemed clueless or just refused to answer proper questions. The supervisor sounded really rude and kept getting annoyed with me. Since I have the number now, I'm thinking of reporting them to my local Trading Standards.

I just don’t bother picking up my phone now, it’s always on voicemail. I’m on the ex-directory list, so no idea how they even get hold of my number. These calls are such a nuisance, they really should be stopped.

I can't stand those call centres, they're so frustrating!

Got a call from some bloke with a Scottish accent but seemed like he didn’t actually want to talk, because he ended the call right after I said hello.

Put a stop to calls from this number!

Answered but no one actually talking, just a bunch of people chatting in the background. Definitely feels like one of those call centre calls.

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.
