Ring TalkTalk from your mobile, if you drive up the hill! 0870 087 3527, open Monday - Friday: 8am - 8pm.

The handset must be made by someone, but they've probably omitted that info - that's the usual way with this sort of kit. I can't find any more info or product info, past basic specs. I'm suspecting it's an Alcatel unit, but they'll have a different model number for it.

Failing that, take the battery out for an hour. Check if there's a backup 'button' type battery in there too. If there is, remove that as well.

That should cure it as well, in lieu of TalkTalk being useless or you not running up the hill to call them for your mobile

Drove mile up road to call TalkTalk. After 10 minutes got through to someone.

He did not have a copy of the manual, and was trying to find one through google.

No joy, other than I lost one of the recharageable batteries down the side of the car seat.

Put a non-rechargable one in, and works fine - is anything likely to explode?

Nothing likely to explode, but dont put the handset on the basestation/charger otherwise the battery may explode.

Have taken phone off charge!!!!

Or just replace the std alkaline you've put in with a rechargable! A std alkaline's not going to last very long in a phone handset!

Well don't we know our stuff???

A broadcast engineer or a cameraman (I can

:eek:

TBH I think it will still let you dial 999.

Is it sorted yet, Emily? Or are you still in a strop?

lol was there a button with a key symbol on it by any chance? bit obvious would it have been?

Strop is passing.

Not sorted the phone yet. Going to go out and look for other recharagable battery from side of car seat (raining to hard at the moment)

Feel a bit silly that I got in such a rage over a house phone, just hate it when things don't work for me and I can't do anything about.

Got to go into town this afternoon, so I will see about taking it back to CPWH to see if they can help.

I sort of blagged the phone from CPWH. I set up a phoneline with talktalk, and I mentioned that I needed a house phone, bloke got this one from the store room and said a tenner would do, ie I have no reciept.

Either that or it was free and he scammed

Can you imagine the conversation....

"Hello police, I've blocked my phone and yours is the only number I can ring.."

" Hello Emily, we know all about you.

The lifeguard, Fire Brigade and an emergency vet. are being dispatched as we speak, and Kim and Aggie are already in the helicopter...."
