Now last week I had a reminder to pay part of my bill by the 3rd OR ELSE. I`m already on incoming only, so I made sure we paid up.
I rip the place apart looking for the damn receipt, find it, and tear down to the phone box. I explain the situation, tell her I`d paid, and she assures me that according to her computer my line hadn`t been cut off, but was still restricted as it has been for many months now. I tell her that it must be a fault then, for I had no dialling tone, and neither did I have the net.
I was told that in no way could I have a net connection if I was on incoming only. `It`s ok I tell her, I have broadband, I don`t need to dial out`
I was told in no uncertain terms that I have to have an outgoing line to run broadband.
I didn`t argue in case she found out! :shock: (we`ll ignore the fact I`d just told her I lost my net connection, she obviously had)
Anyway, she tested my line, and received a ringing tone, it worked, so confused I went back home, picked up my phone, no dial tone. :blink:
That was when I spotted the other phone my teen had plugged in to dial 1471. Our new phone won`t register the buttons for some reason, so if we need to phone 1471, or phone BT, we have to swap phones............... :doh:
So I`m back, and whilst I sit here on my imaginary internet, chatting to my imaginary friends, I`d like to remind you all that I didn`tactually join this site, I haven`tmet any of you as a result, and I certainly haven`tmade some fantastic friends or felt at all welcomed, because I was never here, right? :uhoh: .
Thankyou for listening.

Before broadband I was forever being disconnected because they tried to play with the phone :D And then if it wasn't them it was my my other half :D
:shock:
