Mobile phone operators harassing me

Fed up with free mobile offers?
Why do the big mobile phone operators have to resort to these tactics to gain or keep customers. Could it be because their tariffs are to expensive in the first place and they need a sweetner?

I'm fed up with mobile phone operators cold calling and harassing me. The T-Mobile call centre in India is the worst offender. Their constant calls and offers of a free mobile are extremely irritating.

| 28-4-2008 | I get silent calls at around the same time of the day each and every day.
Initially just annoying, now it is a hassle.
T-Mobile will do nothing. They say speak to the police. The police say speak to t-mobile.
I will speaking to t-mobile to tell them to get stuffed, i'm off. | jondoe |
| 15-4-2008 | T-mobile, along with other UK operators, have long since stopped making direct marketing calls. This wasn't because of any moral or altuistic desire, but because they were doing more damage than good. If someone gets their evening disturbed by a call from a mobile operator they are more likely t...more | phen |
| 01-4-2008 | I have received this call about four times in the last week, luckily I have been too busy to answer. I came to look on a similar site as this and found out about this company "Communications Direct". I haven't found how to stop it yet but have now renamed this number suitably (can'...more | Frostie |
| 31-3-2008 | I got a call from these a couple of months before my contract was about to end. They said I was entitled to a free PAYG phone as I was a loyal customer of Orange. I said ok thinking I was speaking to someone from Orange. My new phone arrived a day later and I thought that was great and was going to ...more | Forest |
| 08-2-2008 | Communications Direct is featured frequently in the columns of www.whocallsme.com. They are well-known nuisances operating from two centres in Cardiff and Swansea. They are able to work out from your telephone prefix which company you are with, then they can work out when your phone was sold to yo...more | Mike Mouse |

| 04-2-2008 | There's a simple way to deal with these unwanted calls. Don't be rude to the person on the other end of the line. Take a deep breath and blow as hard as you can into a whistle.
This will, sort out the problem with unwanted calls. | Mikey G |
| 04-2-2008 | You can always annoy them and cold call back, which I have been doing to communications direct a couple of times a day, heavy breathing then hang up, as they keep calling me! no is 02920822637 if anyone else wants to join in!! | Fella |
| 11-1-2008 | Yes, these calls are very annoying. I just had one on my mobile (which for the record is with T-Mobile) about 20mins ago. I Googled the number and found this. It could also be a coincidence that the minimum term of my contract with them has just finished. Make your own mind up.

| 06-11-2007 | T-Mobile don't have a call centre in india, or at least didn't when I left recently. If someone is calling you it's either someone who's bought your number from a list or something else dodgy... | Anonymous Coward |
| 07-10-2007 | Have some fun with these cold-calling parasites, and do what I've done. Have a pile of saucepans, oven trays and other utensils on a table or worktop within easy reach of the phone. Then the next time they ring, wait until Mohammed or whoever is halfway through his Free Phone spiel, then swipe t...more | Lord Crypto-Peerless |
| 24-9-2007 | In a nutshell honest businesses will only contact their customers. Dishonest businesses will buy the TPS list to add to their database. And that's why they keep calling.
On the other hand, The Data Protection Act Does allow for criminal prosecution and compensation and telemarketers pay nothi...more | Jonathon |
