Yes. I had to do this when I signed up.0 -

I would have deleted it, but I want to dispute your ludicrous advice about making up a number.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.0
