Today we have had six sales calls from telecoms companies - these calls were totally out of the blue! One call from mango tel in London insisted they were going to send me a phone on thursday and wanted to know what time I would be home to receive it!!? Wow a free phone....but I have one well several actually why do I want another!!? He said it was totally free no catch if I didnt want to subscribe I could keep it including the bluetooth headset! But I didn't want a new phone he was asking for my personal details so I gave him my name and address and then he asked for my date of birth. I explained that I didn't want to give out my personal information and he went through the whole sales pitch again, so I listened and he asked again for my date of birth - I didn't give him it and he slammed the phone down. I am fed up with these calls they are a total waste of time, I have better things to do than engage in these aggressive sales techniques.
