For awhile I had the phone number of a resort in the Cayman Islands on the bulletin board. Whenever I got one of those persistent callers, I gave out that number. It rang the fax machine.birdwatcher said:We get those here at the Inn too. but we defer them to the Powers That Be...its kind of nice telling them that we really don't have the authority to give them any kind of answer to their questions and could you call blah bla at duh duh duh...-

We're also TPS registered, so when I get the calls I ask for their company name and details, and the name of the caller and I go to the TPS web site and report them. Don't hear from them again.I have comercial telephone preference so it is illegal in this country for them to call me which means when they call I say if you don't hang up and take me off your lists I will have you prosecuted which is great!!!.
Here businesses cannot get on the 'Do Not Call' list, which I think is what you're calling TPS. It is a royal pain as the telemarketers all know this and are happy to tell you that they're going to keep calling. You can tell them to take you off but the whole DNC registry here is mostly a joke. Partly because anyone can have any phone number and name show on the caller id so I report them but they're not using real names or numbers.We're also TPS registered, so when I get the calls I ask for their company name and details, and the name of the caller and I go to the TPS web site and report them.

The ones that have been driving me nuts lately are the "congratulations you have won a Carribean cruise". I always press the number to get through to a human, they're always in the US and I keep them hanging on the phone for as long as I can. Some of them get very nasty!!!

I have done the *69 to get the last number that called and when I call it back, it is a recording that the number is not in service. How can it be not in service? It just called ME! And I love the dead air calls hat I rush to the phone to answer 5 or more times per day.Here businesses cannot get on the 'Do Not Call' list, which I think is what you're calling TPS.

K, that is another trick they pull, but I believe *69 uses the same system as Caller ID does and since any # and any name can be put in there, they are covered. Another thing is that they will just call back using another number and name. One of those online y e llow p ages companies kept calling day after day with me telling them to remove me from their lists. The same person called the next day from another number on the ID used a different name & slightly different name for the co.I have done the *69 to get the last number that called and when I call it back, it is a recording that the number is not in service.

Unfortunately many of the nuisance calls are from outside the UK so they don't give a hoot about the TPS either.Here businesses cannot get on the 'Do Not Call' list, which I think is what you're calling TPS.
