So gotten any more weird calls in the last couple months
I had to do this for an disciplinary investigation I did at work - some guys were unplugging a fax machine, plugging in a telephone and calling Expedia, local estate agents and the nearest pizza delivery place! Ask.co.uk came in very handy that day!
its an excel file with area codes for phone numbers, gets a bit specific in some areas
it was quite small before i saved it as an excel file, it was a .csv (comma separated values) file, but thesite wont let me upload it, so it went all massive on me when i saved it again
Best ones are still big telemarketing businesses that let you go to answer phone when you call them back. Fun message time.
The calls stopped after that.
0161 is the Manchester number
Logically though, someone from an 0161 is more likely to phone someone else in an 0161
I have a lovely 01204 number, fuck 0161
That's always fun. My mate once got a survey call, for a Mr somebody on her mobile. (obviously she had their old number, or they'd got the number wrong) This was the conversation (bear in mind she's a 16 year old girl and SOUNDS like a 16 year old girl):
Mate: Hello?
Caller: Hi, may I speak to Mr *Surname Here* please?
Mate: Yes, speaking
Caller: Oh.... well can I ask a few questions please *goes on to explain why*
Mate: Oh yes yes go ahead
Caller: You're married yes?
Mate: Yeah, 8 times, lovely girls they are.
Caller: And any children?
Mate: Probably, somewhere.
Caller: Right..... can I have your date of birth?
Mate: Of course, 31st of Uptember 2032.
Caller: Listen, is this a wind up??!!
Mate: No no, but I must go,the cats fell down the toilet.
And she hung up.And we killed ourselves laughing
They don't learn though. Ten minutes later....
Caller: Hi, may I speak to Mr *Surname Here* please?

First time I picked up and the line went dead straight away. Second time it only rang twice before cutting out.
I did a 14713 and got this recorded message..
"Thank you for your call. You were contacted today by a member of the CBP group, we may try and contact you again at a later date."
Just got a call from 02085398900. Had a few before, but always hung up when I answered. This time therewas somebody there. He launched into his spiel, and when he paused, I informed him that my number was registered with the TPS, and he was committing an offense by cold calling me.
He insisted that he was not cold calling because they were an "authorised Orange dealer". However, he did provide me with the company details to pass onto TPS.
So if anybody wants to make a complaint, they are:
Phones4all Ltd
Laytron
E10 7QN
The guy that phoned me was Ali.
02085398900
same story here - asked for my number to be taken off their database, and took their address - it is a different address than was given to the previous poster.
Phones for All Ltd
PO BOX 278
Rainham
RM13 8WR
here's the link for TPS (telephone prefeence service) to exclude your number from these calls...
