We've received automated calls for the first time over the last three days.
What I noticed today was when I close the phone, and later tried to make a call, they were still there and I was unable to use my landline.
How and why is this possible?
I've complained to BT about this before and the gopher who answered my call didn't understand why it was a problem.
What if someone needs to call 999 but can't because their line is effectively being blocked by these scammers?
BT really need to pull their fingers out and do something about this, or maybe they are waiting for someone to die/be injured as a result. What is to stop me getting an overseas mobile, calling a house, then breaking in? They won't be able to call 999. Hope no prospective burglars are reading this.
