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

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

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?

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