 1st POST
 This last few weeks we have been driven crazy by unwanted tele sales calls for PPI Insurance refunds. It's no good putting the phone down on them because it is a part automated system that will keep calling you again, and again and again until you actually speak with someone. And all that will do is stop one company calling you, tomorrow it will be someone else.
So without further ado let me introduce you to the TPS. It free, only takes a couple of minutes, and it works.    [link to www.tpsonline.org.uk]
Please note (A) You need a valid e-mail address. (B) There are commercial companies that charge a fee for doing the same thing. The TPS is the official central register.
Welcome
We are the Telephone Preference Service
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a free service. It is the official central opt out register on which you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. It is a legal requirement that all organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so.
Organisations with which you have an ongoing relationship, for example those who regard you as a customer, (or in the case of charities - a donor) may well gather your consent during the early stages of your relationship with them and will therefore be entitled to call you even if your number is registered on TPS, unless you have previously told them specifically that you object to them calling you for marketing purposes.
The TPS can accept the registration of mobile telephone numbers, however it is important to note that this will prevent the receipt of marketing voice calls but not SMS (text) messages. If you wish to stop receiving SMS marketing messages, please send an 'opt-out' request to the company involved.
As TPS registration only prevents marketing calls, organisations will still be able to call you for the purposes of genuine market research.
