OT landline metering
Can't seem to Google this, but in the old days (in the UK) you could put a
call meter in series on your landline, that I think measured some kind of "click" from the exchange that signified another unit of calltime charged. You could thus keep a tally on the calls made on that phone. This was useful when I was in a shared house, where everyone wrote down the units they had used, and the phone bill was split accordingly. I can't seem to find such a thing now. Is it possible to meter your used units now? Cheers, Gareth. |

Sure I get an Email telling me what calls I've made but never how much they cost. Line rental gets taken yearly and broadband and calls inclusive monthly. That might as well be taken yearly as well since it never changes. However it does provide a mechanism for the ISP to charge me for internet usage. -- Best Regards: Baron. |
