    Default 0292 number ringing you look here!

    Hi all, i have been recieving calls from these numbers for about 3 days now ive done some research what may help you if you get them,

    These numbers are from a cardiff company called Direct communication they ask you wether or not your on pay as you go, if you are on contract they ask how much you pay, then they usually ask if you want an upgrade, immediatly hang up as they will offer a nokia 6810 or something around there, they ask for your bank details and as far as im aware it is a premium phone line whichs charges you for them calling you, this is called Cold selling, i have found out by registering at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/ , this will stop the calls, some people have still been recieving them, i did find a official one but as far as im aware its American, and english numbers wont fit in the boxes , so i would just try Tps.

    if you do answer a call from them just mention your signed up to "TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE" this is a service which makes it illegal for them to call you, ive read that they will instantly hang up, the person who stated this hasnt heard from them since
    Ive also read they give you 3 rings only, and if you call back it will be charged massivley

    if your on t-mobile ring 1-800-937-8997 , to get these numbers blocked

    I usually think it's credit card companies ringing the house phone and don't pick up anyway.
    That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.

    They cannot charge you as the number isn't premium rate they haven't reversed the charges to you.

    The TPS doesn't make it illegal for them to call you, It is a service that is voluntry to companies to sign up to.

    Go over to saynoto0870.com they will help you more they eat sleep and poop phones/telephone systems

    If you live in Rotherham why are you ringing t-Mobile in America? They are seperate companies
