(OT) Re: Are Virginmedia blocking SayNoTo0870 ?
|
| |
...It's quite likely that VirginMedia are running transparent proxies, so a trace that doesn't use port 80 will not be particularly valid. If they were filtering, they would do it in their transparent proxy. Cross-posted and followups to uk.telecom, as more appropriate for 0870/1 issues.

Panasonic Systems KXTDE - Any good?
|
| |
Hi, We're looking for a new phone system and have been shown Panasonic KX-TDA, KX-TDE as well as some BCM50. Is there any reason why we should avoid any of these with a barge pole? We are probably going for the IP phone route. About 40 users.

Unsolicited calls from the USA

Junk call - two numbers
|
| |
I had a couple of junk calls from Serif today - I did not answer it but recognised the number. My normal phone displayed their 0800 number but I have a second BT Internet softphone number and that phone picks up calls on the main line, it showed a local number at the same time. I don't think they have a call centre locally. I can see the logic of displaying a local... more »
