Landline to Mobile

Just got the TalkTalk phone bill and the majority of it is the kids phoning people on mobiles, and as you can imagine we're not happy. We've contacted TalkTalk and they say there is nothing that they can do about it. Does anybody know how we can put a stop to this? Phoning mobiles from our landline I mean.

    Sell the kids' TVs on eBay if they ever call a mobile again. :rotfl:

    Or, get an Orchid dialer and set it to block mobiles.

    Unfortunately.....the dialler can just be unplugged!!

    Apart from threats/warnings of £ contributions etc.....a dialler can be set to 10p/min peak rate and evenings through 1899 [but retain existing routing through Talk Talk for evening calls for known calls to Vodafone especially and also Virgin] and through 18185 at 2p/min over the w/end. 1899 also charges 3p/connection and 18185 4p per connection.....
  • ok your with talk talk i know if your with bt you can dial hash then a pin number this blocks calls will it still work if you have a bt line
    i will find the correct code soon
    you could always hide the phone so your kids dont get it or use 1899 i use ther voip thats the cheapest ive found
    Named after my cat, picture coming shortly
