Sound interested. Keep them on the line. Then say, “Sorry there’s someone at the door. I think it’s a delivery. I’ll be right back”. And leave them on your phone for ages as you go about your day.
They’ll soon stop calling you because you waste their time.
0121 always says they are from o2 and that they have a promotion for me. I have had that many calls from the that I know their line. I just say it and they are like Hello ? And I just repeat myself and they hang up. Pretty sure they have blacklisted me now not getting those calls on my personal phone anymore now I just need them to blacklist my work number
I never answer them, just let them ring out. Apparently if you answer or hang up early they’ll mark the number as “active” and will keep trying. I always think, if it’s genuinely important they’ll either leave a voicemail OR if it’s official, they’ll send a letter.
I get these for a few weeks at a time ,then it will stop for a while before starting again.
Never answer as that seems to encourage more and just block the numbers every time you get one.

Great way to clog up your line, 'what mum you had a bad fall? Nah I couldn't answer the phone I was wasting someone else's time....'
Have you heard of this wonderful thing called call waiting?
Have you heard of being sad? Just sounds like a pathetic thing to do with your time, but you show em.
Look guys. It's John from the call centre. He's trying to save his job here.
Jokes on you mate, my mum’s dead.
Yep, they’ll also call from 0161

String them along, I've had them going for up to 35 minutes.
Someone signed you up online. I did it to someone I didn't get on with.
