Premium rate number scams

    I've been inundated with premium rate number calls, several a day and now at night too. They come from Togo, Belize, Dominican Republic, etc

    I have an elderly relative for whom I'm on call, so I can't turn off the phone and these things are driving me nuts.

    Vodafone have proved spectacularly useless on advice, let alone action. All they said was change your number, which is not really an option. So what can I do?

    iPhone 5s is the handset, can I just temporarily block all international inbound calls?

    Cheers,

    LD

    What phone have you got?
    Are they from the same number or a different number each time?
