Barring Outgoing Mobile Phone Calls

[Deleted User]

You can barr outgoing 090 calls, I'm wondering if you can barr outgoing 077/078/079 mobile phone calls too?

I had to this through NTL at the charge of £1.75 per month, much cheaper than the calls. After a couple of months l will remove it but just not tell the kids

If you have a BT line, one of BT's 'Calling Features' (£1.75/month) is the ability to bar and un-bar certain types of calls.

Although the one you want is switch-on-able - with *342# and switch-off-able with #342PIN# - it's not as specific as you would like (the option to bar mobiles also bars national and international calls).

I've just come across a neat little device - the Phone Guard - which appears to be exactly what you need!

£17.03 + p&p from Omega but much cheaper on eBay.

Thanks, I will look into this.

I think that just means it won't prevent internet access if your internet connection is by ADSL broadband, not that the telephone calls barring capability (including dial up internet) won't work if you have. Obviously any phone plugged in would have to have a broadband filter connected as usual.

Anyway, for £4.30, it's got to be worth a try, surely?

I'll buy one off eBay anyway for the price and try it out. If my ADSL stops working with it, I'll put it back up on eBay.
