For the last couple of days we have been receiving nuisance calls to our landline. Always around the same time of day and when you answer the line is dead, sounding like the pause you get before an automated message starts. But it never does.
So the initial nuisance is that having hauled yourself out of your chair, away from your work or even worse, away from your meal, it is all for nothing.
The additional irritation is that when you try to initiate a call back (1471 in the UK) to find out who called you receive the message
” You were called…..blah … blah…. blah. We do not have the callers number”
Why Not ? Isn’t it your telephone network ?Why is this allowed ?
Why is the caller allowed to disturb your peace, allowed to invade your privacy but you are not allowed to respond. The caller obviously wanted to speak to someone at your number so why are they being so secretive.
I think the rules should be changed. If you call someone then they have the right to know who you are.
