TPS is not specifically a giffgaff service – it’s for everybody (landlines or mobiles).

It’s free – provided you get it from https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/register

But there are probably still cowboy companies that claim to offer a “service” to register you for TPS. Those services charge, and they may or may not actually register you, and they may or may not use your information for improper purposes. So make sure you go direct to the TPS site, not through one of the cowboys.

99% of the hard nosed sales companies couldn’t care less about TPS and many use auto dialers
A company will purchase 200,000 numbers and set the Auto Dialer to see which numbers are still live
The live numbers are passed on to Sales People being threatened with the sack if they don’t speak to a minimum number of people each hour
TPS will not stop them hitting their targets

scrupps

jarzinio maybe, but if you take their name, company name and tell them you have TPS and to remove you from their list, they will. If they don’t and you report them they will get a significant fine.

However, scam calls originating from abroad are another thing!

If they where trying to rip you off, they would not give you any accurate or honest answers to your questions
As for TPS are simply a vanity project set up and paid for by sales organisations
You can count the number of companies that have been fined to match their crimes on one hand
There was one rip off company that said that they were TPS and for a small annual fee they could offer an enhanced service
Mugs fell for it, gave them all of their details and had their accounts emptied

jarzinio agreed. But TPS does work to a limited degree. We are registered and get zero business/sales calls and when we did get one and asked to be removed as we were on TPS they did remove our number and have not called again. It ONLY works for legit U.K. based companies though and obviously doesn’t stop scammers and chancers.
