Increase in spam calls on landline

[surfing69]

I have been getting an increasing number of spam calls on my landline on different numbers but with the same message. 

I cant block all of them as the phone only has 50 number memory

Is there any other way to stop these annoying calls?

thanks

Hi surfing69,

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems switching CallSafe off. Have you followed the process outlined here - How to use CallSafe - TalkTalk Help & Support

Thanks

hello

i needed to turn off Callsafe as i needed to get a code from HMRC BUT despite cancelling this service a number of times over about 30 mins, it still remains set to ON., 

I need to understand why it took less than a minute to switch on but now i cannot apparently switch it off! 

Pls advise

thanks !  I also found that you can turn this feature on from within my account.  It has now been activated !  

again thank  you

You dont get charged for turning this on, so no, dialling 1472 will not incur a charge.

hi

never knew this existed !  

However , I am concerned that if i call 1472 i will be charged. My Talktalk landline is currently PAYG. Would u be able to advise if i would be charged?

thanks

I found Callsafe very effective. I've used it 5 years plus and in that time I've not had one spam call. Spammers will not announce themselves.
