Mobile phone users can send a text message to opt out of nuisance calls from today.
The 'text-to-register' service allows mobile users to add their number to the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) 'do not call' database.
Those wanting to sign up need to text 'TPS' followed by their email address to the shortcode 78070.
They will receive a text reply from the TPS confirming their number has been successfully added to its database.
Registrants should notice a gradual reduction in unsolicited sales and marketing voice calls after a few days, although it can take up to 28 days for the service to become fully effective.
thought this may be helpful to lots of people.

I've been registered with TPS for years and it definitely works to reduce the number of nuisance calls. It doesn't eliminate them completely (the more unscrupulous types out there just ignore the database) but worth having. |
