Irritating phone messages

[poolger]

Does anyone else get these calls on your landline phone that says you have an SMS message, then when you press the number it says its too big to be opened. This is the third one in the last hour. How do you stop them as its really annoying me now.

Hi poolger
We havehad the same problem over the past week.
I would advise you not to ring the number they give. No idea if it is a ploy to you paying for a telephone call at a high rate, so I would ignore the calls. Better safe than sorry. No idea if it is a scam or not but we are not taking any chances

If it is a commercial concern based in the UK then you should be able to stop it by subscribing (free) to the Telephone Preference Service.
Google that name or TPS and you should find it.

I registered with the TPS over a month ago and still getting the calls.

I registered with TPS about a year ago and while we arent getting as many of these annoying calls as we used to we are still getting some.
