OK, I've just signed up to BT Internet and we're online lots - so guess what - nobody can phone us up and we can't tell if anyone's trying to ring us...and the answering machine is in the phone so no-one can leave a message

We'd normally be happy to drop the Internet call to answer the phone - so are there any gizmos/software that give you incoming call warning?

..and no, I don't want a second line. I believe BT will run an answering service for you for a few squid a quarter, but I've just spent loads on a cordless digital with answering machine. Doh.

 

Have a look at

 

Anyone tried f1racing.co.uk. supposed to be free I think.

Not much use to you but there are loads of free numbers in the US (well, local calls), and since some local calls are free there internet access is basically free...

e.g. freelane.excite.com

But none of that here? I've been looking for totally FREE access since I'm back in the UK for just a couple of weeks and need my scoobie bbs fix.

<B>Hi All

I have been told that there are ISPs around now that offer free calls 24/7, support dual channel ISDN and have no time limit??

Is this true and does anybody know of one?

Cheers

Simon

PS. Sorry it's way off topic!

Hi Simon,

Freeserve do a an unlimited free call and free ISP service for £10.00 per month and this applies anytime, day, night and weekends. Also they are planning a new fast line arrangement in conjunction with BT which will apparently vastly speed up the whole internet access, plus you will be able to use your phone simultaneously, all with the same line

If you have Call Waiting the phones beeps for an incoming call. This kicks my modem of the line. If i will be doing a download then there is a code to disable Call waiting.
