Oh no, this is one UK annoyance that I thought wouldn't happen in Cyprus!!!! Maybe it is a good thing we won't be able to get a landline up in Narnia

Not had any cold calls. Used to get them when we had a landline in Emba, but not since I only have a mobile.

We normally get a few cold calls but its usually Cypriots who've dialled the wrong number

I had a cypriot company call yesterday
doing websites ...

I get calls to the office from magazines touting for advertising business, they must be worth a fortune at the prices charged, not had any at home so far.

Purveyors of Double Glazing, UPVC windows, Conservatories and worst of the lot Damp Proofing are the bane of my life. I don't even speak to them any more.

Yes there is a lot of cold calling here. I really regret having my phone number in the book as they just start at the beginning and work through, then they start again and again and again.

I think the worse ones are W.....sh...d who phone up even though you have had a survey done and nothing wrong.

You had a survey and they found nothing wrong? Wow! These people could, as someone once reported, find damp in a Bedouin text! They can afford a lot of canvassers given their extortionate rates, which is why it only takes them about three weeks to work through the phone book. Grrrrrr!

Just had a 'kitchen company on the phone........

Haven't had the land line in long, so no problems so far, but not sure if you automatically go in the phone book when you get a new line connected - anyone know if it can be avoided??

No idea C.F. - although cant remember if we were asked the question.

When we had a land line we were automatically put in the phone book. No one mentioned ex directory.

They actually use a random number generator though.......................been going on in Cyprus for quite some time, had several of this type of call.

When we signed up for our landline in sept we were asked if we wanted to be ex directory and geoff said yes wish he had put us in now then atleast the phone would ring Alex x

Alex that's easy remedied put your number on the forum then members can give you a call any time day or night. Marj

Aaaaaawwww.....

Yep, turns out this is the case - Mrs F advises me she opted us out too, so we should be save from the cold callers!

When I had my landline fitted, I was not even given an option to be ex-d or put in the book

I do have the odd call, but its always from a Cypriot lady who cannot understand me saying, 'oxi wrong number' Then she slams the phone down on me

Do they not have telephone preference service in cyprus

Yes. You can prefer not to answer it when it rings

Hi,
We get cold called a lot. I cut them off by telling them our house is rented. They don't want to know after that.

Hi Pete, thanks for the welcome.
It was very sunny in Episkopi yesterday, my hubby burnt his face and top of his head, ah.

Today is a bit dull and overcast but we hope for better as the day goes on.

Morning Loubychew,

Are you based at Epi or just live in that area

I know it pretty well, having been station at Akrotiri myself

Morning Pete,

No we live in the village. Nothing to do with the forces. Been here just over a year, prior to that we lived in Ypsonas for 3 years.

I like Episkopi, very quiet, great for our cats!

And very safe living next to the garrison well that might depend on if they want to take the garrison out with a big bomb I suppose only kidding

So you weren't there when they had the big fire some 8 years ago which burnt down quite a few properties over that way & had all the military out fighting it for days I was one of those with a shovel getting a really good suntan

You can still see the burnt area around the secret valley area

No, latest fire we had round here was on the arial (sp) farm at Akrotiri. That was impressive!
