Done, even though I've already registered my number. Thanks to O2, I'm getting upwards of 5 calls a day at the moment!

Thanks for this. Just done it though I hope the theory works. My numbers have been registered with them for a good few years now so I have little faith in their effectiveness.

Good find @Poppysmum. A bit sad though that the article includes this comment.

"However, the scheme is not foolproof and Ofcom research suggests that as many as two in three marketing calls may still get through".

Also..whose email address do you include in the text? Your own?

[MI5]

Your own email address so they can send you a link to verify it's your number.

I have done it sent text with my 2 email addresses in and not heard anything .

Should i have got a text back ?

[MI5]

You should get an email with a link to verify it's you.

[Poppysmum]

Looked on both email addresses and no email 😞

[MI5]

Maybe you entered it wrong on your text?
Mine came through immediately.
