speedy spam

I’ve had my new phone for less than a week.  I’ve given the number to no one except the Telephone Preference Service.

Today I had my first spam call, from 0333 155 2939.  I didn’t answer it, or even notice it, since I have  the phone ringtone on silent (see the bit above about having given no one my number?)  When I next looked at my phone, I saw the missed number, googled it, and found a host of complaints at Who Calls Me.  Looks like I didn’t miss much!

At least I got to play with the “add to auto reject list” menu option in the phone app.



Feb 2021: updated the link to Who Calls Me, which emailed me asking for the change, because the old domain has been subject to spam attacks!
