Silent phone calls
When you pick up a ringing phone and hear silence at the other end, it can be frightening. However, most of these calls aremade not by villains but by computers at call centres. Now in the UK such centres could be fined up to £2m for causing distress.
Report
It's an annoying thing many households have to tolerate -answering the phone to find nobody on the other end of the line. They are often from a company's call center which uses automatic dialling in the hope of selling you something. But if there aren't enoughstaff on hand to speak, the call into your home stays silent.
Industry regulator, Ofcom, says it's a breach of their guidelines for businesses who make persistent unwanted phone calls. And nowthose caughtbreaking the law could face fines of £2m.
David Hickson, campaigner: 'We don't know how much ofa deterrent it will be. The point is that the action point of Ofcom should be to stop peoplefrom making silent calls, not just to penalise them.'
Despite previous attempts to solvethis, almost half of the UK still receives silent phone calls. So officials will hope the threat of a bigger finecan help eradicate it.
