| 696183 | 2008-08-10 04:03:00 | I recall hearing somewhere that Telecom have to connect 111 calls even from a disconnected phone line. Does that mean that if someone gets naked DSL, they can still plug in a phone & make a 111 call? My grandparents are getting frustrated with dialup, but they can't afford broadband unless they go with Xnet Fusion. I want to find out if they will be able to make emergency calls when the internet is down before I mention it to them. |

There was no compulsion, that was a by-product of what Telecom called an "Intact" policy. When somebody disconnected unless the cable pair was needed for another connection the line would just be altered in software so you could only call 123 to get it reconnected or 111. The dial tone was different. With naked DSL the Telecom telephone exchange equipment isn't connected at all. |
