It doesnt apply if the call is made from outside the UK. That is why some
companies transferred their sales operations abroad. All you have to do is
say no to things you dont want. What always amuses me is why people even
bother to answer the phone when it displays an unknown number. Worse still
are the idiots who will call back a premium rate number!
