I never get them now on mobile thankfully though I do have one outstanding from last week. 0344 826 0202 which called me at 1am and I presume to be O2.
On the landline cold callers would sometimes plague me 20 to 30 times a week.

@Glory1 Woah you definitely have me beat there! I don't think I'll ever forget my old landline number so I'll report back in 50 years
@Anonymous I get them in waves on my mobile. I'll have 2 weeks of PPI claim and accident compensation calls then nothing for a few months and then it all starts again.

@Glory1 I haven't had the Scottish Power calls thankfully! I I've had the same mobile number for 10 plus years now so who knows how may cold calling databases it's ended up on by now
TBH I'm not that great at remembering numbers (faces I never forget) but for some reason that number just stuck.

@Marjo wrote:Interesting discussion! From a point of view of a Finnish person I can say that probably around 10-15 years ago (more or less) people started to get rid of their landlines because it ended up costing more than having a mobile phone.
And also because they didn't need a phone line anymore for internet connection either since that too evolved, it was not used at all.
Somehow I still miss our home landline phone for sentimental reasons though. It made a fun noise when dialling. It looked something like this one:
My grandparents had such one (in a 70's green), I used to love it as a child and loved to dial (without the handset-part, so it didnt cost anything).
We had a one with number pad in red ...That was very modern and rare.
It was rented from the post. Funny things

I've only got a mobile these days, but the reception in my apartment is patchy to say the least (using BT Mobile), so I should probably invest in a new telephone. I know there are Apps that address that problem, by using a WiFi connection, but it is frustrating that mobile still lags behind in many areas of the country (i.e. in terms of call quality).
