If only it worked on the feet in the same way... Strengthens the hair growth? More bounce? |

I'm really appreciating for the first time that my mobile phone has a [default] setting to stay silent if the caller is not in my contacts. I wish our landline would do that. I had 47 missed calls yesterday, fewer than 12 today. Hopefully I'll soon fall off whatever spam list has gotten my number. I guess they must assume people will either answer or ring back on missed calls. Kath got caught on that one not long ago. No-one bothers to leave a message apart from one earnest lass from Barclaycard who wants to talk me through their payments system, which seems some 40 years too late. It was the phone binging to say I had a message (notification from voicemail) that alerted me to all these other calls - all cell phone numbers.

I'm very protective of my new number due to the number of not contact calls my old one still gets. FWIW I've seen ads for this service. Presumably it costs money to use... joindeleteme.com/ |

The main reason I have kept my landline is to put that in when buying on line mandates a phone number - restricts the number of org.s that can abuse my mobi number or pass it on to people who will. Land line has call guardian which massively reduces nuisance calls.

I very rarely get spam/scam calls and my network (EE) is very, very good at flagging them as potential spam/scam callers. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that if you're plagued by spam/scam calls you are either on O2 or a provider that uses O2's network. I haven't changed my habits when using my number for online shopping etc., but the spam calls dried up when I ditched O2 for EE.

I'm on O2 and I haven't had a scam phone call for ages. I did have a few purporting to be from my bank but which were obviously scams, a check on the numbers showed them to be dodgy.
I've had a few scam texts but the O2 network flags them up as suspect and dumps them into a spam folder.

FWIW. The fox is still fast asleep out there. Probably waiting for nightfall and putting in some solid hours of circumventing the heath robinson attempts at securing waster food caddies.

Fox has woken up had a stretch, given me a funny look (OK I was waving at it), had a scratch, given me another funny look (see above) and sloped off.
Maybe its a white collar scavenger which clocks on at 9?

The UK certainly will do nothing to rock the boat - God knows why not, but there we are. I think it will take the intervention of a 3rd party supporter of Palestine to shake up Israel's arrogance. |
