Might just be me, but I am strangely looking forward to somebody paying a £1 for my number to try and sell me something.

There are various responses I generally use when I get these calls at home........

I'm fed up with recorded messages wanting to know about my debts, or if I want free phone calls 24/7. They always call when I don't have time to press 5 to tell them what I think!

Storm Data charge a lot more than £1 per lead. Leads however slim are very valuable to marketing companies and as we know, when that name and number are on a list they will be sold and resold. I think this is yet another thin end of the wedge. Press 5 if you want to hear more.

I see the site has crashed as so many people have registered on there.

I'm sure the details will be safe on there - otherwise they will ending up in court I imagine!

I Read that this has crashed and its not going to happen. I was a bit scared to put my number down to go ex directory. I guess if it happens I shall just tell them to p*** Off. It would be fantastic to have a really long intro message at the end of which says, if you want to speak with Lily press 5, then, your call is in a queue and will be answered shortly. Hello, oh yes, how much per month? I dont think so, how about you P Off instead, eh? Sooo sorry to have kept you.
