Default Re: Telephone with Mercury button

They also used to ban traffic to certain countries because of fraudulent use of Auth
Codes on the 131 service. These fraudsters would have a room full of people fiddling, the long time consuming way, until they managed to get a working code. Then , on one occasion I recal, some poor young uni student, in a flat in London, received a bill of £1500 for these hacked calls, pretty much all to one country.
