Don't suppose anyone has any ideas on how to stop/report nuisance calls? My mums getting calls past 10pm from the number 02085100275, I googled the number and it looks like its happened to a lot of people recently

This information is great for reducing nuisance calls. http://www.bt.com/includingyou/calling-easier-unwanted-calls.html

 

You can also choose to block specific numbers (through BT anyway) . Its called Choose to Refuse http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8500/~/what-is-choose-to-refuse%3F

 

 

To bar the last call you answered with Choose to Refuse:

Dial 14258 and press the star key (*) on your phones keypad twice at the voice prompt. The number you’ve barred will no longer be able to get through.

 

To bar other numbers at any time with Choose to Refuse:

Dial 14258 and enter your PIN. Choose to Refuse will give you a choice of the following options:

 

•Adding a number to your list. Make sure you include the area STD code before UK numbers, and press the hash key (#) at the end of the number to tell Choose to Refuse that it is the end of the number

•Reviewing your barred numbers list. You can check your list at any time. Choose to Refuse will tell you the number and the date that it was barred. You should also choose this option if you want to delete a number from your list

•Changing your PIN number. PINs in sequences such as 5678 and 2222 and PINs that use numbers in obvious patterns on your dialling keypad (such as 2580) are not allowed

If you haven't set up a PIN yet, you should use the default PIN, which is 1234. If you've forgotten your PIN, please call 0800 800 150 to get it.
