Nuisance calls: BT records more than 31 million in one week
BT is now launching a new service for its customers which it says could block up to 30 million such nuisance calls a week. Called BT Call Protect, the system analyses call data to identify rogue numbers. Customers will also be able to identify other nuisance callers, by dialling in the code 1572 after receiving such a call. "We've forced companies to display their numbers when they call you, made it easier to prosecute those involved in making the calls, and increased the maximum fines up to £500,000." Earlier this month, the Information Commissioner's Office said that more than 370 people were complaining about nuisance calls every day, and that half of those were about automated calls.
