Mobile users unlikely to get relief from pesky calls, text messages soon, say telco executives
Mobile phone users are unlikely to get a respite from the menace of pesky commercial calls and text messages anytime soon as the majority of these come from unregistered telemarketers (UTMs) using personal mobile numbers that are almost impossible to monitor or bar, say senior telco executives.

Got an sms from EBS (Irish bank) so I called them. Suspicious. Said there is a block on my EBS card because it had been used in a foreign country. I asked which country and he said "Ah I cannot tell you but it was not in the EU". Asked me for mother's maiden name. I said I don't need to give you that info. He said ok, but there is a block on your card and we cannot give you any information. (My card is sitting on the table in front of me during the call). He said to contact EBS and I said "I just called you!" He said oh we are card security company. I asked the name of his company and he said (unintelligble) "Tietro Evry" (which I had to get him to spell out). He repeated the spelling (incorrectly). Didn't give him any more info so he said lines are open 24 hours so please call back and deal with the problem or there will still be a block on your card. I said "OK BYE!"
