United Kingdom, Isle of Man & Channel Islands Telephone Area Codes
All too often, unwanted sales or other nuisance telephone calls are received so that is why I abstracted this list here from what Ofcom has on their website. While getting a telephone call from one of these places is no guarantee that it is not made from a call centre, it could help you to avoid them if other innovations like call blockers or the Telephone Preference Service fails to do just that. My default action is to let a call from an unknown go straight through to voicemail. If the call is that important, a message will be left. Otherwise, you get to know how unimportant it might have been.
