Sound of silence
John Loader at DotSix Brailling Services, who is more or less our jobsworthiness correspondent these days, has been complaining to the Telephone Preference Service about unsolicited cold calls.
John’s been having trouble with an 0707 premium rate number that calls, and all he hears is silence.
They have their predictive dialler set wrong, but as long as they don’t actually say anything to John, it’s not the remit of the TPS. Instead, they tell him, there’s a service called “Silent Callguard”.
“If you wish to register with the service you should call 0870 4443969 or visit www.silentguard.co.uk. I trust that the above information is of help to you,” they tell him.
It would, of course, be very dangerous to combine both services in one operation.
