Default Can you get specific numbers barred with Orange?

Because one of their 'business partners' are calling me most days and up to three times a day to talk to me about my upgrade.

Yes mate. You can ask any network provider to bar numbers!

If they are bothering you that much you need to stop being all nicey nicey with them and tell them to **** off or you will bring it further.

Which part of Orange?

Orange retail (the shops) are nothing to to do with Orange / Hutchinson Telecom.. as strange as it seems.

I had the same trouble some years ago with an upgrade offer. They offered the phone, but omitted the free gift. Because i got it from the shop, and not via the telco, they wouldn't play ball, that's how i found out they were two separate company's.


Tel them your registered with the TPS, and the calls are no longer welcome, that always helps

I didn't do the nicey, nicey bit in between. From the very first call I told them to get lost and never trouble me again.

This would seem to be my mistake as responding to them has only encouraged them to call me a lot more!

I have stored their number in my phone as Lemon

However they are now resorting to calling me from different numbers - either call barred or a mobile phone CLI.

The shops are franchised.

I am a business customer.

It may be different as you are a business customer but I have barred mobile numbers on my orange account by ringing customer service. The reason I gave was because they were spamming by text.

In the meantime, download a silent ringtone from the app store and assign it to the numbers. At least you won't be hassled by the noise.

I was going to say are there no specific apps for dropping their call. I had one on the BB which automatically dropped all calls from numbers you tell it to. Shows as an unanswered call in your log
