hey guys, does anyone know of a cordless landline phone with a keypad lock? i cant seem to find one. my mum lives in a shared house and just had a ruck on the phone bill by one of the lodgers :-( so she wants to put a pin on her phone. any suggestions? cheers

Don't know about a pin phone but when I was a lad my sisters were running up huge bills phoning their boyfriends and mates. My dad got fed up with it and got a payphone so they had to put 10p in for about 5mins (this was in the '80's). The phone came with a key so it could be changed to free calls.

Maybe something like that would help?

Cancel land line and use mobile phone instead? If they don't have one then they must be the only people in the world! :D

theres a few things like that, but she dosent want things like that in the ohuse really that stop it being so homely :-( i guess i can see her point, she would have to use the same phone you see. im sure someone must make a phone with a pin lock

phone BT (or whoever) they can do a call barring service where you have to enter a code or something to make calls, my mum used to have this years and years ago to stop me running up huge bills :) she works for BT.

Get a phone with a hand piece like blades sword then. :))

 

I still think mobiles are the way forward. :)

easy soloution would be to get a cordless phone and keep it with her at all times :)

Only problem is another handset could log on to the base station. Most base stations can handle four handsets

 

Best bet would be to reroute phone into her personal accomodation
