Ok chaps. I have opened a thread for all those that are getting no where fast with BT sales or support. List your gripes and any suggestions that may make life easier. Each month I will take a selection of problems and will try and see what we can do. I cant promise any thing but will try and give an answer.

Please do not post Phone numbers or Job Numbers. :!:

Every three months I get these bits of paper from them demanding money, personally I would prefer not to get them and not having to give them a cheque in return.

What can you do "oh great Bt Man in the Sky" :whistle:

Ps. I still want to use the phones............:lol:

Didn't think phreaking still was rife in the uk,

Like many others I fiddled a bit in my youth but that's about the top and bottom of it, half the fun was finding the faults.

the 2 most popular used to be, go to phone box with lcd phone, pick up and replace reciever about 8 times, wait for 4 seconds then pick reciever back up,

payphone thought it was faulty cos no money had been put in and it automatically rang the fault reporting centre to declare itself faulty.

but being a payphone it had to have credit to make a call, and the bt eng's that progged it gave it £68 of credit to do so :no:

press follow on call to get the dial tone back and bobs your uncle

other one was with the model above this that had the volume controls, used to put money in, make a call then as long as there was more than the min charge left in credit used to press follow on call and then 99*

payphone thought u were calling emergency services and refunded ya money..

ah, the remenicing....
