Unwanted Calls

[jims-terrano]

So ok you know what this is about, I'm having a rant again!

OK I registered with TPS years ago and hardly give out my phone numbers and email addresses. Though I suspect my children are not so careful. Over the last year or so the phone calls and texts have started becoming more frequent and in fairness not very many as I know some people are pestered to death but just the same I want to get rid of them.
I'm pretty convinced the local Skoda didn't take a blind bit of notice when I told them direct that I do not want them to pass my details on to third parties and I do not want their marketing either. I also suspect that insurance companies are the same and incidentally I only called two for the project truck one of whom often pops up on car forums, nuf said. I also know that TPS have no powers over foreign call centres.

Has anyone got any ideas to cut these calls and texts out?
