Call Blocker working well :-)

[Harry Bloomfield]

Judging by the number of nuisance callers it is reporting as having blocked, the number of such callers trying to get through has increased, just as I put the new phones in.

Mostly their number is 'unavailable, some present a number with 0020 or

00??. Sometimes the 0020's are valid numbers if the initial zero is deleted. I am getting calls from spoofed local numbers, usually none existent numbers, over the weekend one was spoofed to present a very local number from within the village, so I rang the number just to make sure - there had been no one in the house at the time, to dial us.

Got the best phone blocker ever.

No phone. No line. (Well, there is a physical line, but not set up and never has been.)

+1. Line (for broadband) but no phone. Heaven. I use the inclusive minutes on my mobile or Whatsapp if I need to make a call.

It makes "line rental" even more of a rip-off than ever.

Absolutely. Then only reason we don't have a connected line is that the available broadband is dreadful - estimated 4 to 8. Fibre is "in scope" whatever that turns out to mean. I know for sure the next box down the road has it. Then we will connect but I am damned if I will pay for a slow connection and give Openreach any idea that they can get money from me before upgrading their system.

Probably still won't have a phone, though. I have become used to using the app from Three to make calls over broadband.
