He's on an 'inclusive calls' package for his landline (doesn't use a mobile) but has been getting some hefty monthly bills, and we've realised this is due to him not ending calls…

Freeview Play vs TV EPG for 85 year old.
Hi all I'm just awaiting delivery of a TLC 43C645K which is for my elderly monster in law.

Occasional landline phone calls
My sister part owns a small holiday home which I often visit. It is in an area with no mobile signal, so she's kept the landline active.
