And thinking im the clock..lol

I know it sounds funny,, but its not,, its a pain now..

Can someone advise me on what i can do..

Old woman is phoning me at all hours of the day, mainly in the early hours..Did last night at 2.26 am. .I thought i was dreaming, but i wasnt , as there was a message on phone, and i also picked the phone up, but she wasnt there..

I have contacted BT today and other times, but said that might be a fault on either my side or her side..I could change my number ,but thats a hassel, to notify everyone,, so i left that for now..
So i dunna what to do..Tonight i am going to turn phone volume down,,theres no, on ,off switch or i wouldve done that...If i take the phone off the hook, will it make that beeping sound ?..At the end of my tether now with her..

I have also spoke to her calmly, but she says she is half blind..She should be in a nursing home if she's that bad....Anyway, any advise would be great,,Thanks for reading, its long..

Have you checked to see if there is a number being sent with the call? Try dialing 1471 after the next call. BT offer something called 'choose to refuse' which will allow you to block her from calling you depending on where she is calling from....

If you take the phone off the hook it will indeed make an awful noise after a short while.

Hi..

Yep i did that choose to refuse..Had it for a week,,also had a fault or summat , and i thought they had blocked all my numbers cos i want getting any recieving calls coming thorugh,so i cancelled it..It was the exchange side of the fault..Anyway now i cancelled it, woman is still calling..

Set your answerphone's outgoing message to "The talking clock has been closed down. Permanently. Sorry. Please do not call again."

Sorted :P

a bit expensive to block one person, but a god send to block other people that you don't want to talk to is Truecall. It looks good and I have seen a couple of demos

It looks good, even on the BBC site, here

I was looking at it myself, but I don't get that may calls that i don't want, mainly due to the fact i am ex-directory and on the TPS.

Just unplug the phone.

Yes..I could just unplug the phones last thing at night..

Thanks anyway

Lol !

You know, that might actually work

(OP, give it a go)

At my old workplace, there was one day we got a phonecall from an old guy asking us to fix his stairlift. I told him he had the wrong number, then he said, "Well if this isn't the council, who is it?", the most ridiculous question to ask, as if A: It was my fault or B: I might be close enough . Anyway, he phoned us back a few times in quick succession ("No, you haven't mis-dialled, you've got the wrong number! Stop calling us!"), until eventually we looked up the number of the council for him. That fixed it.


You know, since we put ourselves on the TPS, we seem to be getting MORE automated calls and calls from abroad. I'm sure someone is selling the TPS list to foreign companies as a list of people to cold call. They probably leave out the detail that this is a list of people who don't want to be called...

Truecall is reasonably good. The problem area is where there is no caller ID. The only real option is to send those to VM

I block all numbers that I have not unblocked. Everything elese goes straight to VM

Offer to buy her a clock.

Just tracked this thread i done down, cos she still at it..I not changing my number, I just unplug phone at night, but she did it this morning at 9.20 ..she still does it, but not as often..Was just checked the date and year ..lol

I'm sorry but this old woman must have problems, i mean how can you mix up 123 with someone's full blown phone number?

One thing that isn't much heard of is 1477. Dial the number after she calls you and it's apparently meant to flag up the call as a nuisance call within the exchange and make it easier for the phone company/police to monitor.
