Lets hope other cold calling companies rein themselves in after this fine.

You'd think so but it will just mean they move to other countries where they can't be touched.

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.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

No profit in that.....oops.

Only just seen this, that's great! And in my hometown too...

The fact they hid their identity and the sheer number of calls they'd made had a lot to do with the size of the fine from reading the article! It would be good if they outlawed these operations completely imo (if they're not already?).
