Raemond Jun 2022 12:39pm, 17 Jun 2022 9,359 posts	0 Raemond The Telephone Preference Service only applies to people, not to computers. I wonder which idiot drew up that rule. It's quite an old service, so I suspect computers weren't such an issue when the rules for it were written. It's also nigh on impossible to enforce, as many of the entities that violate it aren't uk based, or are just difficult to trace.
