[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 39372, member: 176256"] Subsidies. I've never had a box by this method but my understanding is that $ly are now doing more checking up that boxes are connected to the telephone line. They do this by sending a signal to the box to telephone an 0800 number and report in. I f the box doesn't phone immediately then they don't worry immediately as there could be many valid reasons for this but after a certain number of failed attempts (2 weeks? a month??) they will make contact to check that all is ok (has the baby pulled the phone lead out etc) and make sure that the box is connected to the line. So, you won't be able to get away with it forever before they send a big fat bill to for the subsidy that they have given you. Incidentally they target the box by the card's serial number so leaving your old box behind won't satisfy them. It phones them not the other way round. PaulR [/QUOTE]
