A couple of times recently I've answered the phone and heard a phone ringing at the other end. This call is answered by someone who then trys to sell me something. Am I paying for that call?

No .. its just the way they deal with their call list

Look at the bottom of the page for the Telephone Preference Society. I've also signed up for the mail equivalent and the junk mail does seem to have ceased somewhat. URL:
