Phone lock Help Please!
 

:mad: Hi All!

Just got off of the `phone to CS about putting a block on the telephone ,
I was told that to Lock it i had to put *806# which did block it.
I was told to `Unblock` it i had to put *80 pin number and then dial the number that i wanted to call, However this does not work and i can`t get through to Faults as i was advised:mad:
Can anyone here please give me some help or advice as my wife`s going off her head about it and i can`t get it sorted!:confused:

I`m in Cambridge in the cb1 area if thats any help.

Greenies to all that help!

Thanks.

May I suggest you try #806*pin# to unblock. As this is more along the lines of what I was given for call barring.

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

try *80 - pin number - number you want to dial - #

I was hoping an expert would turn up.

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

Thats what i was told to do.
Tried that `Marge` Thanks anyway but i still get an Unobtainable tone.
Just spoke to faults and they said " It could take upto 24 hrs to come into effect! Great,! I`ve got a blocked `phone that i can`t use for 24 hours!:mad:

Going to be a long night for you Bud if your wife is not too pleased with you ;)

I hope you get it sorted sooner rather than later :)

From the ntl User Guide for Cambridge:

Are you getting the fluctuating dial tone after dialling *80?

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

Yep! Getting that but after entering the pin number and then the number i want to dial, i just get the number unobtainable tone as posted earlier!

This is gonna sound like a daft question.....

You are using the right PIN aren't you?

Did NTL set it up for you or did you choose it when you first activated it on the phone?

If NTL set it up when you called them then it's possible that it might take a while to kick in, it's also possible that someone at their end put the wrong PIN in and that's why it's not working....

Using the pin that they told me to Raist!
I`ll wait until tomorrow as they said it might take up to 48 hours!:td:

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

Hmmmm.....not sounding good then.

Sounds like you're doing things the way they should be done, using the right PIN.

The only thing left, as you say, is to wait and see if it works after 48 hours.....

And keep your head down in the mean time as your wife is going to be REALLY unhappy when she hears that bit ;)

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

Set up call barring and the only people that can`t use the phone is us!:D :D
Nice one NTL.:erm:

Re: Phone lock Help Please!
 

Just be careful. If call blocking blocks all calls without a PIN then you are fine. If 150, 100 and 118xxx calls can be made then beware !

You can call 118-118 and ask to be connected to a number. They tap it in and then connect you ! Its designed for Business that cannot connect to mobile and need to, but some kids and students have discovered it and use it to get round line blocking
