Help Help Help - does anyone know how to reprogramme an Orchid dialler? (see other post - I went wrong somewhere with mine). I want to bar a particular number.

So far today my son has racked up another £8.00 calls on 1899 :o:o:o(yes, it is possible for he has done it!) I am desperate to bar the number he is calling before I end up in the workhouse for Xmas! I've shown him the calls on the net and yelled at him till I am blue in the face - he SAYS he is sorry but he will be at it again the minute my back is turned. I am seriously thinking about taking the home phone base station to work with me every day so he CAN'T make any more calls - or am I being paranoid????????

(mind you, I worked out that if we had stayed with NTL, his calls so far would have cost me £172.00 so on that basis I am way aheaad of the game.) BTW, his all time record for 1 month's calls is £252.00!!! :'(:'(:'(

Please help me, or if you have any experience of this situation /advice to offer on dealing with this situation (short of killing son) please feel free.....

Regards, Stella

  • If he is a resourceful little monkey, won't your son be able to by-pass the dialler anyway irrespective of how its been programmed?
