Lawry program to auto-dial 0845 number

I would like to speed up the dialling of 0845 numbers for avoiding BT charges for Caller Display.
I currently make my six 0845 numbers per quarter at the weekend to avoid having to pay for BT's Caller Display. I do this by manually dialling an 0845 number to a company which has a recorded message.
Is there a way of using the Lawry Excel program to dial an 0845 number? I was thinking, for example, of changing the contents of Cell D33 to an 0845 number and then clicking on the Set Time Clock icon.
If this sounds absurd, as I suspect it is, is there another way of using an Excel spreadsheet (or, indeed, any other way of using a PC and modem)to achieve this operation. It would avoid having to use the telephone handset at all if it could be achieved.

If your version of windoze still has a dialler program, you can set up an icon on your desktop to dial any required number. Probably best to take this to the techie forum here. If you do take this problem there, leave a note on this thread.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Thanks DVardysShadow. I'll look into the phone dialer within XP.0

I think it's only free if you sign up with the TPS. Perhaps csj doesn't want to do this.Freddie_Snowbits wrote: »I am at a loss, caller display is freeAre you for real? - Glass Half Empty??
