[Closed] Redirecting marketing calls to another number - is it possible?

Just having an idle chat with a colleague and we were wondering if, rather than just ignoring or blocking spam callers, is it possible to re-direct their numbers to a premium rate telephone service?

Obviously the more expensive the better. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Particularly thinking of the cow-bag from the airline flight delays compo company who just got all uppity and accused ME of wasting HER time!

You could change your number to a premium rate one like this bloke:

I remember that being in the news, the kind of thing you wish you thought of first!

You can with a VOIP system, but you pay for the forward call not the caller.

hmm, that's no good then. It's for my mobile number, I can't even find an app-for-that. Standard call forwarding, plenty of them, but not for specific contacts, (I have a long list of 'junk' numbers stored)

Ah well, back to ignoring them and adding any new ones to the list. Unfortunately my MotoG doesn't have a proper call blocking function.

Calls blacklist from Vlad Lee (on the play store) is a damn good blocker.
