  1. Calls from US to UK by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I live in Britain, and I'm on the UK "telephone preference service" list which works reasonably well. Most of the calls that I now get are from the US, trying to sell me "£1300 off a holiday in Florida". They can do this because I'm not on the US "Do not call" list and they can ignore the UK version. What I'd really like to do is to get my UK number on the US list, but the web site doesn't allow me to enter all of the digits. Does anyone have any suggestions?
