Absolute recommendation

Last week I bought a BT8500 Advance Call Blocker, had to register with V Media,
After putting all names and phone numbers on it, here is the beauty of this system it asks for a name and number and if it is not on the phones register it will not let the call through, but they can leave a message, if they do mention a name you then have the option of, accept/ always accept/ block / or send to the answer phone, or just ignore the call and hang up.
My phone has never been so silent absolute bliss, no more nuisance calls.

That sounds like a godsend. We've been getting lots of cold calls/surveys etc lately & I've no idea where they get my home number from!

I'm very careful to whom I give my home number, usually just friends, So I'm at a loss how all these overseas people get it!!!!

All I can say is the Telephone Preference Scheme has worked for me. I do not have nuisance calls either.

Ken, we have tried that system calls were still getting through, not as many but still a nuisance.

Not had any bother at all since I started putting the phone next to the radio or telly. They soon got the message and not had a niusance call for a year or more now. Best still cost me nothing, hee hee

I tend to just howl like wolf down the phone, knowing that these people wear headsets they tend to not ring me back for some reason.

And it's variants on my phone.... Works very well for blocking and screening calls. Tell you whether the call is from a sales site and gives you the option to block it. Plus the other functions are very advantageous

I have whistle next to the phone which I blow down the phone. Would love to see the callers face at the other end though
