If you go into My O2 I believe you can opt out of being contacted. I would think that all network providers do exactly the same.
Thanks for that info, it seems there was no opt out box initially then, as i always tick it!
It now gives me greater pleasure telling them to '*bleep* off' when they phone up!
This is the first year i have had this and i have been a o2 customer since they started (cellnet previously) Seems they needed their coffers boosting by selling them after all. Grrrr!
Will be sending a strongly worded letter this afternoon then

@I disagree, bob. @Anonymous, be as aggressive as you like. If they don't like hearing foul language, then they shouldn't call. I'm sure they're all pretty thick-skinned and probably get it all the time. Sending a letter won't make a difference. If you haven't opted out, you agree to the calls. I'm sure you'll find that all the networks do it. They make money by letting these vermin use their data bases.

Its just my way Bambino regarding how I conduct myself.
Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself.
I thought the OP had found the opt out in My O2. Maybe I misinterpreted the post.
You are entitled to your opinion about this, bob, but cold callers, in my opinion, are the scum of the earth. They neither respect, nor have any regard for your privacy, and as such get treated with disdain by me when they call. That's why we were discussing having the facility to block calls on all phones in another thread. If we had that, this thread wouldn't even have been started.
