Question for one of the techies, when a BT phone is in this situation you can still dail 999, is this the case with VM phones? If so then the emergency connection is still there and the only problem here the late payment as VM or BT are not responsible for lifeline equipment. Surely as well with lifeline paying the bill should be an absolute priority...

For other users info LIFELINE is a system that alerts a 24hr remote monitoring station via a telephone line when a panic button is pressed. It is also a private company and not part of the emergency services
if the landline has been restricted to incoming only, then yes the OP can still dial 999

Well, she can't be "that" disabled as she can type and use a mouse, etc..
