I have been told it is not a marketing call and therefore not covered by TPS rules, that it's market research, which is different.

I told someone I thought Mr X got three years and she should contact Scottish Prison Service to find out where Mr X is at the moment.

always said darkies were racialist .....

The idea is that you have an additional telephone verification id. Like you see for websites. I'm not sure of the details but I think this can be handled in the same way as public key infrastructures.

The scheme can be opt in. This means all calls without a verification id are blocked. Without international cooperation this means international calls being blocked by default, but even so specific exclusion rules could allow calls originating from specific international numbers.

I wouldn't mind blocking calls from unfamiliar/unregistered international parties, would you?

Some of this is already being done. I know my mum's phone blocks calls which originate from unregistered skype accounts.

I would. I have a relative in a care home in another EU country. If anything happened the last thing I would want would be a load of hassle letting me know.
