    LOL!! They will definately get a telling off. Phone line now disconnected, & £100 coming from each of their bank accounts.

    One consolation, DH saves approx £80 from his account this month so we can get a takeaway tomorrow evening!!
  • Just been stung. Fortunately only £10. 09040430000 takes £1.53 + VAT each time. I have a 5 year old and 4 year old. They are not going to know any better. Unplugging the phone line pronto unless Sky helps barring the games that cost.

    Have you not set the appropriate Parental Controls?

    Although your disconnect line approach will work (obviously), PIN entry before going online would be just as effective.
    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.
