Now I need to get some work done and lose some weight. PS I realise some of might not consider one spam message to be “endemic”. If you get WhatsApp spam they have a page on the subject that isn’t massively helpful. At least WhatsApp spam is no longer going to be receivable on my phone. My view is if a person doesn’t have the courtesy to tell me their number they don’t deserve to be answered.Īnyway we are now a landline-less household. This raised a chorus of complaints on the basis that the call might be important. I told the family that these calls would start getting less frequent as I would be implementing call barring where the inbound number was withheld. I asked him where in the UK he was and told him I didn’t trust him so he put the phone down on me. The caller told me he was from a company called UK Surveys, or simlar. I eventually did answer the Snom only to find it wasn’t a sales call from the subcontinent but a survey (from the subcontinent). Trouble is I was trying out a ringtone when it happened so little old me got confused initially. This was somewhat confusing as so was the phone I had in my hand. I was just running through the ringtone options with the family when a son told me my mobile was ringing.
So now our home phone number points at two Snom DECT handsets (kitchen and TV room), a Yealink (conservatory/office) and on the CSIPSimple App on my mobile. Wasn’t totally straightforward as it isn’t a Voipfone supported device but they have some great engineers and we got it sorted. I spent much of this afternoon getting my Snom M700 DECT system working.
Must be a machine in play there.Īn App must truly be labelled useless if all it does is serve you with spam. The spam originated from someone who created a group, added me to it, sent the spam and then removed me from the group. I don’t even use WhatsApp though I do have the App on my droid. Aaaargh just received my first WhatsApp spam message.
