It's much simpler than that, you can disable an auto dialler without
any tools and without disturbing any wiring and leaving no trace that
you have tampered with its action in less time than it takes to dial
out.

if you can find it. and what happens to RedCare if the scrotes remove the
local phone lines? This happened here in 2011 - 3 times in 5 weeks.

That’s why it has a backup mobile phone dialler.
