We don't use phones much at all. We both have a mobile phone, but at about 17 years old in my case, and not vastly better in Martin's, and mostly switched off, they're there for emergencies more than anything else, eg a car breakdown or similar.

We kept our house phone, and are still with BT at the mo. Telephone Preference Sevice is next to useless in my experience, but we're finding the new BT CallProtect service (free for their customers) superb at blocking stupid calls. It was only introduced recently, and has already made things vastly better for us in just a couple of weeks. I know this doesn't help your problem ...

We usually order food online too, but delivery people sometimes need to call us for directions to our house. And they do that on our home number.

But yes, we are very much a no phone use household ;)
