Hi Danny, Thanks for your reply. We do still have an FT line. I did as you suggested and the phone light on the box does blink. Your link was very useful and yes my box is a Sagem. On our last phone bill, we were still charged for calls but we had only had the alice box for a couple of weeks so maybe the next phone bill will show us just paying for the line only. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again. Jan.
