  • That's a very interesting question, especially as - as far as I know - there is no simple way of checking what time one's Orchid box thinks it is.

    In the past, I have once or twice found it doing odd things at unexpected times but simply assumed the clock had drifted a bit since the last 'phone home'. I manually forced it to phone home and assumed the problem would be fixed, rather than resetting the time manually, which might have been a better ploy.

    Hi,

    I have the Orchid V4 dialler and would like to block people making calls to mobiles; is this possible?

    Yes - you will need to alter your routing table:

    075 - 077 - 078 - 079 Bar at all times

    I have added ## CALL BAR to the 07 mobile and that did not work do I have to add them individually as above?

    Yes - that should do the trick.

    The Routing rule you need in the Orchid drop down menu in CW Client is:

    07 - Bar 07
    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.

    Do I need to add a extra line to the routing table for that or edit the Mobile A one already there?

    Won't that bar all 07******* numbers not just mobiles?
    If he want to bar calls to mobiles (6p/minute using 18185) I'm sure he wants to bar 070 numbers too - they are often very much more expensive.
