Vodafone now blocks unwanted calls before they reach you
Nuisance callers are having a tough time of it already this year, with Ofcom banning them from withholding numbers and helping to create a simple, text registration option for the UK's leave-me-alone database. But Vodafone's decided to go even further, today announcing that it has begun blocking unwanted calls at the network level, so they don't even reach your phone in the first place.
UK bans cold callers from withholding numbers
Have you been involved in an accident at the workplace, taken out a loan with unnecessary payment protection insurance, or think it's time to upgrade your double glazing? If too many of your conversations begin with one of these questions, you either have a pretty boring group of friends or you're frequently a victim of the dreaded cold call. Thankfully, the government isn't a fan of these unsolicited chats either, and is bringing new rules into force that should cause companies to think twice before dialing your number.
