Go ex-directory
Although being removed from the phone book used to be something only the upper crust would consider, it's now a fairly standard way for people to avoid getting harassed by nuisance calls, going ex-directory is actually a very sensible thing to do.
How do I register to stop nuisance calls?
The best way to reduce nuisance calls is to register for free with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). They'll add you to their list of numbers that don't want to receive sales and marketing calls. It's against the law for sales people from the UK or overseas to call numbers registered with TPS.
