Hi

I am with Virgin for my land line and with an excellent package on 02 with my mobile phone, which gives me numerous free minutes and texts.

so much so that i never need to make a call from my Virgin Land line, I have read the many threads on this forum regarding unauthorised calls made at considerable expense with no knowledge of the phone owner making them.

I am thinking of asking VM to barr ALL outgoing calls from my land line to avoid this possible scenario, however from what i can gather it is possible to turn these calls off and on using a pin number. So if the worst happened and calls were made without authorisation, would VM just turn around and accuse me of turning the call barring off to make the calls myself

If so it would be a pointless exercise setting up call barring, or am i missing something.

Also i have looked on their web site and cannot find the costs involved to set this up and whether adding this service sets up a new 12 month contract

regards
