Stop nuisance calls to your mobile with a simple text today
Mobile phone users can send a simple, free text message to opt out of unsolicited sales and marketing calls from today. It is a new service launched by the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) and Ofcom.
Stephen McPartland MP said, "We are all fed up with nuisance calls so this new service from the TPS for mobile phone users is very welcome. It is illegal for organisations to make unsolicited sales and marketing calls to numbers registered with the TPS, unless they have a person’s consent, so people should see a reduction in these calls if they use the service.
"To add your number to the UK's official ‘do not call’ database simply text ‘TPS’ and your email address to 78070."
Mobile phone users should notice a gradual reduction in unsolicited sales and marketing voice calls after a few days, although it can take up to 28 days for the service to become fully effective.
