cos I've never gotten a dodgy cold call on my mobile, and as it runs an OS it isn't a 'one-trick pony', theirs still TPS, and apps for call nuisance, and whitelists/blocklists directly on the fone

I get far more nuisance/cold calls on my mobile (and lets not mention all the scam texts) then I ever have had on any fixed line.

Good luck anyhow.

ok guys n gals

I've talked them in into ridding his house phones unlimited calls for £9 a month, and Three's 3-2-1 mobile at £5 a month n i will find PAYG monthly sims for £10 or less that gives unlimited minutes- saves money, saves mess on, a single device

so now i gotta find deals after finding which network is best for his Area (indoors and outdoors + his home is built with stoned walls)

thanks guys

Your action of using mobile phones exclusively for voice traffic may save YOU lots of pennies but has consequences you may not appreciate that costs you more than you think.

I notice that our company almost invariable has to call customers on their mobile phone numbers which pushes up our phone bill considerably. This added costs is factored into the price of goods and services we provide.

No doubt other companies do the same and maybe using revenue sharing numbers which would be outside the call plan you have.

Beyond that, how exactly are you getting a broadband service?

this is because you have given your mobile number to a dodgy 3rd party who has passed it on, read the small print- ive been on the same number for 4 years n ive no iffy calls, cos i dont give out my real number unless its a proper service (GP, Hospital, Council etc and read to make sure my number isn't shared) that needs it, most Joe Bloggs put their real details on EVERYTHING, you dont need too...

its all about common sense really - and as its an android device it has a blocklist and an array of apps to handle nuisance callers

thats for him to decide, they are two separate things, yeah you gotta have land-line, it just wont be plugged in ,,,simple as that! and when FTTP arrives he wont have ANY phoneline

Thanks you for the wonderful and enlightening 'advice'.

I suspect your company has a poor service from your chosen communications provider.

When the likes of the NHS, DWP, and other government departments for years said "can't call mobiles as too expensive" that all changed about 5 years ago. My employer has removed all the desk phones from offices, we are mobile only.

I'm quite intrigued what company makes enough lengthly outbound calls for there to be any material impact. What type of company do you work for? It would have to be extremly high volume of outbound calls and super low margins for this to be a problem, surely.

After 20+ year in call centres it's the people that cost the coin, the call costs are totally minimal in comparison.

Or someone's mobile or landline has been compromised and their contacts lists harvested. I have two such sources of spam to my email service.
