Its a phone company trying to sell you an update.

Their auto dialers must have gone mad.

It depends on your phone. Some phones you can block callers. Some you can't.

I guess by the 2nd number you are on the 3 network?

It is possible to block calls but you have to pay 24.95 euros for the software.

You can get TPS for mobiles. This will take a month but should block all sales calls.

TPS is good. I don't get any sales calls unless they originate from abroad.

Was just gonna post about tps...i know t-mobile as a network can't block calls...totally unsure about other networks...only other thing is seeing if 3 will change your number for you...which obv would mean giving your new number to everyone so it would be up to you if you wanted to go through the hassle of that

I use call filter its good for blocking calls you don't want from numbers you know. It can reject or silence anonymous calls. Not sure what you mean by use data?
Call Filter is free btw.

It should be noted that TPS can stop calls that you might want e.g. from your bank, an online shop, a network when you are due an upgrade etc.
