BT sponsors two schemes which you can join if
you are bothered by unwanted faxes and phone
calls.
Fax preference scheme
BT is a sponsor of Fax Preference Service
(FPS) - a scheme to enable customers to
reduce unwanted faxes.
The main feature of the FPS is that while it
helps reduce the volume of unsolicited faxes, it
still allows you to receive faxes from
organisations with which you have a
contractual relationship.
To register for the FPS, BT customers should
ring 0541 554555.
Telephone preference scheme
BT is a sponsor of Telephone Preference
Service (TPS) - a scheme to enable customers
to reduce unwanted sales calls.
The main feature of the TPS is that while it
helps reduce the volume of unsolicited sales
calls, it still allows you to receive important
marketing calls from organisations with which
you have a contractual relationship.
To register for the TPS, BT customers should
ring 0800 398893.
