As my BT calls are free up to one hour does anyone know of a handy device which will disconnect a call after 59 minutes?
My kids sometimes forget and it's frustrating when I don't mind them being on the phone for hours as long as they keep hanging up!
I am searching the web for something right now but no luck so far .......

With the above minor variation to your requirement, will the above not suffice?
You could even incorporate a lesson on personal responsibility by making them buy such a simple device with their pocket money.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.0 -
So a bog standard kitchen timer will do the trick nicely! and cheap too.
Problem solved.
I hope nobody is trying to invent something to forfil the task so they can go on dragons den!When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.0
