Okay this may sound crazy but can someone make a call from my number without my phone or sim card? I mean how do I explain someone calling someone else from my number when I had my phone with me?

Thanks

Just one point about the "others making expensive calls using your computer" : Whether or not your computer has been successfully infected or not, it is possible to know when any device is attempting to dial out from your PC via the modem. There is a FREE download available from British Telecom called BT Modem Protection and it will produce an alert window message if any attempted dialling other than to your listed, (permitted, eg; the ISP), numbers takes place. It does not in itself prevent the dialling but leaves it to the user to interrupt the modem or not.

Another feature from BT, assuming that your phone is from them, is to pay a small fee each month to block all premium calls from your phone.

Together, these methods will both warn and protect against outgoing premium calls.

Thanks, Ron Braidwood, London
