incoming calls only for holiday lets

Recommended Posts

This question must have been asked before, but my search showed no useful results, so here goes:

We will shortly get a landline for a property in France that we will use for maybe four or five months of the year ourselves, while letting it the remaining months.

We want full phone services for ourselves (Internet!), but don't want to tempt the punters.

Is there a way to block outgoing calls with some code or something before one leaves? Or does it have to be arranged with France Telecom? Or what does one do?

thanks in advance,
Adriana.

Hi Adriana

When we were over in June we arranged to have a phone put in. We explained to the guy at France Telecom that we would be taking our handset home with us each time for exactly the reasons you state. He then told us about a free scheme where you can dial in a code and then decide what services you will allow. You can allow emergency calls only, local calls only, national calls only or full service. He gave us the leaflet explaining this and told us we could do this ourselves. You can, but you need to register with France Telecom first - so we have yet to set it up, but the service is available, and better still it's FREE!!
