Text calls to landline via Lebara
My friends landline rang 3 times last night after I sent a text to her at 21:13. The calls were at 21:13, 21:43 and 22:44. Unfortunately, I accidentally sent the single text to her landline rather than her mobile by mistake, and she was ill in bed at that time so didn't answer. Would this trigger off multiple calls like…

Signal booster
The signal to inside my house is abysmal since 3G was switched off. The house is at the base of a 60m high ridge and the nearest mast is on top of the ridge, about a mile away. I have to walk into the garden about 20metres to get a decent signal, so the ridge does not impede the signal. Signal boosters are advisable to…

Blocking voice mail from a single number
Hello, I've had to block someone's numbers (landline and mobile) but continue to receive voice mails from them.
