Just reading this and unbelievably if you register with TPS it doesn't apply to recorded message marketing calls and silent calls even though they are illegal if you receive them without your permission.

Guide to nuisance calls - from moj, ofcom + others

To report a marketing text to Orange, O2 or T-Mobile, simply forward the text to 7726.
For Vodafone users, forward the text to 87726.
For 3, forward the text to 37726.
An easy way to remember ‘7726’ is that they are the numbers on your telephone keypad that
spell out the word ‘SPAM’.
