Another number that kept ringing me. 08000524264 belongs to EUI Ltd., a part of Admiral Group, who trade as Admiral, Bell and elephant.co.uk.

It reports to be a Courtesy Call number and says that there is no need for me to call them back. STOP BLOODY RINGING ME THEN!. Argh - why do these companies insist on trying to contact me!

Well, they’ve been added to my phone’s block list now. I use an excellent application on my Treo 680 called Call Block from Wish Solutions. It will block calls from specified numbers, private numbers and numbers not in your contact list. It will also log the calls that it has blocked. You can even configure it to pick up and then drop the call, so the caller doesn’t even get through to voicemail.

£7.23 well spent.
