Just a thought

Postby saundra » 30 Oct 2020, 16:01

Yesterday we had problems setting up internet and phone
But bt sorted it this morning it was an outside fault so they flicked a switch
But yesterday I suggest to J
Try by very old landline phone such I loved and always kept in a cupboard for emergency
j,said it won't work mum it hasent got a plug :lol:
So next time he comes I will plug it into
Phone connection and show him it does
Have you all got an,old landline in a cupboard

YES! :o :lol: 8-)

My BIL was a BT telecomms man and he always said to keep a simple standalone wired phone in a drawer. That is a phone that does not need an external power source just a plug for the phone line. A 'spike' in the system can fry those cordless ones that sit in a cradle - the ones you can walk around the house with.

When we were clearing mum's house we found five old phones stashed away.

Oh dear, some people! :roll:

Get a special one, a phone bag, - try a charity shop. Tell M it is 'the special one', then hang it up, slightly open, in a prominent but dark place in the wardrobe and just leave it. He will never go near - ever. :shock:

Don't you women know anything? Its not about you, it's about us men. ;) It's why we always win. ;) :P :P
