Wanted .. Orchid V4 (or similar)

As they're not being made any more I was wondering if anyone here might have one for sale. If I can't find one then I don't really see the point in trying to save money using 18185 etc as I can't guarentee that everyone in the house will dial the right code at the right time.
The new ones sold by Orchid don't have a clock in them so I guess they're next to useless.
Cheers in advance.

    The below is a possibility but, as the website appears not to have been updated since 2005 and as they didn't reply to my emails a few months back, it's only a possibility.

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    Even though you can't guarantee everyone will use the right route when making calls, from a money saving point of view you could still try and use it whenever you can.

    And unlike those purchasing a dialler, you won't have to wait till its cost is paid for out of the savings to reach the time you make a saving. Your savings will be from the first call routed cheaper way!
