BT CallBlocker Phone
You put in family and friend numbers into the phone so it recognises them.
Any new callers have the option when they phone to state who they are so you can choose whether to speak to them, ignore them or transfer to answer phone.
If it is someone you want to speak to in the future you can save their number so they get straight through in the future.
Needless to say cold callers hang up rather than coming through to us
Best price from Amazon or direct from BT (of course if you don't like it you can return easily to Amazon) - £60 for a two handset system |  |

We’ve stopped charging the landline handsets that are dotted around our house, that was a decision driven somewhat by the frequency of cold callers. If someone of importance and relevance wants to reach us they are encouraged to call our mobile phones. [Post edited 19 Oct 2017 10:42]

Mine has been unplugged for about two years now. |
To the best of my knowledge, I have to have a landline for broadband.
With the inclusive calls package I have with Virgin I can call landlines and mobiles for free.
Allows me to have a lower cost package for my mobile.
Overall I am saving compared to me and the wife both had more expensive mobile deals.
Also the quality of landline calls is generally much better.
Another also, my wife (who suffers from a long term disability) can reach via the intercom on the house phone if I'm downstairs or out the garden etc.
Short answer - yes many people still use landlines at home. | |

If you are with Yahoo and the Spam are arriving your Inbox, select the email(s) in question then press Spam at the top.
This will move them to Spam and you can just empty that as and when.
You may also be unsubscribe to email lists which you don't want to receive.
With other web services providers, I'm not sure but it should be similar. | |

I did a "Barry Welsh" for a few minutes once when told to "press 5" if I wanted to claim the £2,842.56 that was owing to me but usually I can't be arsed and prefer the blunt approach.
"Hello, this is XXXXX from XXXX XXXXX - how are you today"
"What the fück's it got to do with you? Pîss off."
Had some twát with a clipboard knock on my door trying to get me to sign up to organic veg box delivery.
"Hello, there's nothing to worry about I'm just...
"Why would I be worried, you're wearing a fûcking apron..."
The Jehovah's Witnesses and religious nutters wanting to read the Bible to me are good fun too... | | | |

Ironically enough a chum of mine received a call from an Indian sounding gent regarding computer security and he told my chum to fook off for wasting his time
Some time ago, I invited two JW s into my house ,a young attractive woman and an elderly gentleman .
Fair to say, Satan took my soul over and carnage ensued. They ...were glad to leave ,very glad. It was done in Scousejack formula and we ve had no trace of any since
I was spoken to my two handsome Mormon boys when we had a church nearby . Think they pined for the emptiness of the Great Salt Lake within minutes
My advice is to be like Rocky Warwick . Obnoxious and aggressive | |

Suffering from an extended weekend of debauchery I had a cold call regards a mortgage a few years back. Had loads of fun for at least half an hour.
I even had a w@nk whilst talking to her. Saved me a fortune. |  |

I’ve got to have one too, or else my broadband bill goes up 🤔
Works out much cheaper to just use the minutes we get with mobile, £7.50 per month too.
How do you get a better quality of call with a landline? That made me 😂 more than it probably should have.
Landlines are dead, another 10 years and only the old will have them IMO. | |

A mate of mine received a call asking if he was interested in buying a new conservatory. "Yes please" he said "been looking every where for someone to build me a conservatory" The guy on the other end of the line took his name and address and a couple of days later a rep appeared. Now my mate lives on the third level of a block of flats, so it was mission impossible. "Why are you wasting my time?" the rep said in a bit of a strop. "You b*stards have wasted enough of mine" my mate said. | | | |

My voice often echoes back on the mobile when using it in the house.
Also quite often the other caller doesn't hear me clearly.
Oddly enough this is not usually the case when using the mobile outside | |
