Whats the best way to stop sales calls to my home phone number? Already tried BT privacy?

register with the TPS (telephone preferential service). they are on internet. it's free and easy. stops almost all calls immediately and if you say that you're registered with them the remainder usually hang up pretty quickly. The "no-call" list. Get yourself an unlisted number. Put you number in the Do Not Call list. It is a site provided also by the government. 1-888-382-1222 no call list ;) takes 5 mins and must be calling from the number you wish to register or better yet, set up something to record your phone calls. then have fun. Keep the telemarketers on the phone while you try and relate to thier sales pitch about gutters. Tell them how your uncle jim fell from the ladder and hurt his back while cleaning the gutters and thats why you would like the product. after really getting the salespersons wheels turning, calmly inform them you are not intrested. The jokes on them when it ends up being you wasting thier time when they call say, will you hold on a minute and then just leave them hanging on it worked for me i take everything they offer the times iv seen double glazing and kitchen salesmen looking for 57 when the street only goes up to 51 or sometimes they ask for your phone number and i say don't you know you just phoned me if they say no it was a random number i give them the local police station or the Chinese restaurant www.donotcall.gov

Register with them. It is national. As well as trying every other answer (ignore the American phone number from Bones, it doesn't apply in the UK) you should make yourself ex-directory. BT are very good at doing that if you ask them.
