It's fairly shocking to see the statistics around cold and unwanted calling in the UK,  Which? have put together an infographic so you can see just how your area compares to the rest of the country. 

What numbers are these unwanted calls coming from though? We have found that the best way to combat unwanted calls is to stop them from getting through to you at all, by using a call blocker. Our V5000 is preprogrammed with 5000 already known nuisance callers from withheld, international, unavailable and known geographic areas. The memory on it, however, leaves you the capability to block another 1500 at the touch of the button.
