hope this is the best forum to ask.. basically i just want to set my house phone up for incoming calls only. i dont want to use a phone lock or pull the buttons off or anything like that :p is there a section on the eircom site that will allow me to turn off the outgoing calls on my phone, except for 999, 1901 etc if not…

had a look on the eircom site and it seems you can only bar premium numbers
and it costs money to do it aswell.

bah anyone got a phone with no numbers on it?

AFAIK you can order incoming calls only...I had the facility a few years ago. They do charge extra for it though in addition to the line rental. It's kind of against the grain of a telco to offer incoming calls only. You will be paying over €25 per month for the line ... is it worth your while?
