Is there anyway to "lock" a domestic phone from dialing out unless a pin number or such is entered first?

not sure what i should be googling for, everything is about mobiles

Would prefer if it was enabled on a handset TBH

spent 15 mins trying to ring my office phone last night while one of the staff was busy ringing his mate

he told me that he gave out the number to his mate so i wouldn't be charged for calls, which is surprising when the cctv footage sees him getting the number out his phone and then ringing his mate with the office one

he is in for a right royal bollocking at 11.30 when he arrives

I always use the Office phone for personal calls. Not that I use it all the time, but if I need to make a call, I'll (as well as the rest of the office) use their office phone.

Depends on the phone's features then. I got a set of these for one of our companies:

You can disable call out from any handset but still allow calls in. You can even turn off call in on the other handsets so they can only be used to call the other stations. All PIN protected. As you have CCTV it should stop people bringing in their own corded phone and swapping the jacks to bypass the phone to make a call

mart when you run a business that employs other people, you will understand, until then, you are underneath me

why was i not at work myself?
this lad works rotating shifts 8 hours per day 5 days a week, i work rotating shifts 10 hours a day 7 days a week, i am entitled to go home

the staff are aware there is cctv running, its not spying, its full blown in view, excuse?

i don't need an "excuse", the place has been robbed soooo many times in the past, excuses are not needed at all.


this is how it works, you give them an inch, they take a mile, 99% of employees are like this, best way is to give the little ****s 1mm and let them have the 1cm as a goodwill gesture

dont for gods sake, talk to him about sunstrips..the sticky you are after is sticky stuff....

micky is likely to make posts about how stupid ppl are in asking them for sunstrips and stickers and then stringing them along with some bull****..

if on the other hand you want your car washed

You used to employ people?

In what respect?


Said member of staff, was apperntly "jumped on" in town last night and has not shown in for work, causeing me to cancel lots of bokings, which i hate doing

probably get the winter busy period out of him and then get rid when it dies off TBH

need some polish workers
