    Is it not simpler to just ask the caller on a divert to your mobile from your home phone [or whichever] to let you ring them back? Would their number be recorded on your mobile or would you have to ask for it [and thus carry a pen and paper, horrors!]??

    I'm not sure why you have posted that question/observation here but yes, when a call is on divert from my home phone to my mobile, I can still see the caller's CLI so, if I wanted to call them back, I would know the number.

    OTOH, I would know who's calling so, just as I could at home, I could ignore the call if I wanted to.
    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.

    I disconnected my dialler box after Orchid stopped the service but want to get back into it and program my routing table again.

    I did get the routing table from Orchid but how do I program it, do I keep it plugged into the phone socket and attach a modem to it and run the Excel sheet?

    Yes, download the latest version of the spreadsheet (http://208.56.23.24/mse/Auto_Routing_Table_v1_9.zip), adapt columns B, C, G, H, I, J, K & L (columns D and M will update automatically) for your own needs and then connect up as you suggest.

    It may be adviseable to clear all Carrier Codes and Routing Rules before doing that though just so you know the Orchid is program-free when you start.

    (1). Clear the entire Carrier Rules table by entering the following sequence on your telephone keypad:
    ** # 0000 * 2222 * 6

    (2). Clear the entire Routing Code table by entering the following sequence on your telephone keypad:
    ** # 0000 * 1111 * 6
