    Nuisance Calls

    Hey all,

    I've recently upgraded my contract and got myself a Nokia 6300, love the phone.

    The problem is I keep getting nuisance calls from 01792 761 030, i looked it up on "who calls me" and found they are a nuisance company, Splash UK, who autodial and if you don't answer quickly enough they hang up. This is making it very hard for me to get hold of someone at the other end and tell them to shove their calling somewhere not very polite.

    So... rather than get a call a day which I never get to in time I was wondering if it was possible to block the number so even if they call I don't get a ringing phone bugging me. Any ideas on how to do this?

    Thanks for the help

    You should be able to bar calls/numbers.

    Also look here http://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/mobile/unwanted/sales/

    Appears to be these guys:

    Report it to ofcom the mor the better, if ofcom gets more than 100 complaints they can take the company to court.

    if you want to write to them they have 3 different address:
    1) free mobile select limited
    suit 38 3rd floor
    orchard business center
    orchard street
    swansea
    SA1 5AS

    2) SPLASH MOBILE SELECT LIMITED
    144 WALTER ROAD
    SWANSEA
    SA1 5RW

    3) SPLASH MOBILE SELECT LIMITED
    9 AXIS COURT
    HALLARD WAY
    SWANSEA
    SA7 0AJ

    if you can get in touch with them also report them to trading standers

    SWANSEA TRADING STANDARDS
    THE GUILDHALL
    SWANSEA
    SA1 4PE
