In your sipgate account Settings you can blocklist numbers you've received unwanted caller's numbers: Blocking Unwanted Calls (Blocklisting)
Many telephone handsets and VoIP phones have options to block anonymous callers and to block or screen particular callers. Information about setting up blacklisting and screening with some popular phones is available further below.
If you're receiving calls from IP addresses, incomplete or invalid numbers and these calls are not displayed in your sipgate account's Event list (often referred to as SPIT calls), click here for help & information.
Our hint/suggestion for you: Inform unwanted callers that you do not wish to be contacted again, also do not engage unwanted callers in further conversation and try to end the call as quickly as possible. Engaging the caller in conversation may only lead to even more unwanted calls.
Our hint/suggestion for you: You could register your number with the TPS:
The Telephone Preference Service (TPS) is a freely available service. It is the official UK central opt out register on which you can record your preference not to receive unsolicited sales or marketing calls. It is a legal requirement that all UK organisations (including charities, voluntary organisations and political parties) do not make such calls to numbers registered on the TPS unless they have your consent to do so.
As TPS registration only prevents marketing calls, organisations will still be able to call you for the purposes of genuine market research.
