It's bloody annoying isn't it Marelli! We have had them very early and also up to 9 at night. angry

We have Caller Display and can chose to ignore any 'odd' looking numbers but Mum's NH, my brother and a couple of friends all cone up as 'number withheld' so we have to answer all of those just in case.

I used to feel sorry for people who had to earn their living like that but now I've lost all patience and can be _ very_ rude.blush

My 88-year-old sister-in-law underwent yet another large operation yesterday, and it's obviously very possible that she may not make it, these next 24 hours being crucial.
The phone rang at 7.20 this morning, and I flew out of bed to answer it, just knowing that the worst had happened.
There was no-one there...1471 telling me that it came from a network that was unable to transmit numbers. AGAIN. I've never received one as early as this before.angry. Is there any way of blocking these particular calls, though?
