   Among the seven calls that failed to get an answer because I was out was this. I have disabled the recording device on my telephone to prevent people leaving messages because most calls are uninvited and a nuisance. The people I recognise as bona fide get called back, having been filtered by this process.
   This call was a mystery until I looked it up on other online sites. There the information was that it was OVO Energy, who were pressurising people into having smart meters installed. Experts tell me there would be drawbacks if I agreed, and that the claims that I would be obliged eventually to do so are bogus. So far I have resisted all demands that I must have such a meter (except for water, which has dramatically reduced costs in my case), by ignoring letters which instruct me to arrange an appointment. Now, it seems, the pressure is being stepped up, by making calls. Having read the comments of others, I have become more determined not to accede.

   I'm an OVO customer and have had no pressure regarding a smart meter until now. However, when checking my bill on the OVO site yesterday, I inadvertently clicked the link to the smart meter page and could not get out of it without logging out. This morning I've started getting calls from 01179 303100. I never answer calls without screening and no message was left on our answerphone. I was a Chartered Electrical Engineer in the Power Industry for 39 years and have no intention whatsoever of ever having a smart meter. OVO will be losing a customer if pressure is applied.

   Said he was from OVO. When I told him it wasn't something I'm interested in he asked for nudes.

   I'd had a few missed calls from this number. I thought it was unlikely to be anything important as no messages were left. When they called again I answered it because I'd been in contact with OVO about another matter and vaguely recognised the number. Unfortunately it was their call centre team with a rather abrupt lady telling me that my plan was due to end (in 3 weeks) and she wanted to tell me about the other plans I could move on to. I tried to be polite and listened to one of the plans, but then she wanted to tell me more and asked which one I would like to move to. I said I'd go away and do some research online and that I could change plans myself when I was ready. She seemed to take offense at this suggestion and went from being mildly pleasant to annoyed and a sort of 'whatever' attitude. The following evening I received another call from them, this time someone who asked me how I was, then said, 'oh and I'm fine, thank you for asking' (wtf?) He went on the same sales pitch, even though I'd told him I'd already spoken to someone the day before ('oh, we have no record of this'), and that I'd find a plan I wanted online later on. He muttered something and hung up on me! I've already reported this to OVO and have blocked the number.

   2 calls at almost the same time. One on mobile and one on landline. Saying "You're contract is up for renewal" (It's not by the way)and get a new smart meter.

   Blocked this number ages ago as I have read bad things. I don't want a smart meter and if I did then I certainly wouldn't get one with OVO now after the numerous calls to me.
   Even though it's blocked it still comes up on my app and I've had a call every day for a month! RIDICULOUS

    I have stopped answering calls altogether unless my telephone indicates caller's identity because the number of harassment calls has got worse. Recently I told O.V.O. I wanted to change my tariff to a single rate to replace Economy Seven. That should not require a new meter but they insisted they would only co-operate if I agreed to having a smart meter, which I decided against a long time ago after getting advice. This call, to which I did not reply, was apparently another attempt to get me to agree to a smart meter.
