Calling a landline abroad from a UK mobile
Hi, does anyone know the cheapest way to call a landline in Australia from a UK mobile? For the past 10 years l’ve used a basic Nokia dumbphone with a Lycamobile SIM and topped up with PAYG vouchers from Tesco.

Trying to use an override number when calling a BT VIP number
Some people I know have me on a select list of BT VIP numbers. The problem is I don't think you can contact them using a 18185 override number via BT. With the override on front the system will treat it as a non VIP number. Has anyone found a way around this? Has anyone used the VIP system and added the 08081703703…

I know how to block a number but each time the scammers call, it is an entirely different number, so they keep on coming. How can I stop them?
