how to desactivate integrated phone??

Post by adminsly »

hi i have a sansung gio and i use a data tablet plan from telus. since telus give you a phone number , even if it cost 1$ per minute, you can make and receive call.... i want to find a way to de-activate the phone to make sure i never use the integrated phone!!!!

someone toll me avast , but it look like the call can go thru event if i configure SMS and call filter.....but i can not make a filter for all the number.

any ideas how to do that ???

thanks

Forward all your incoming calls to your voicemail or your FPL number; before they reach the phone/tablet. And then, listen to the messages from a landline or a VoIP line.

Not quite a fix, but a workaround.

Telus' website doesn't say how much minute of call forwarding is included in your package. The workaround is only worth it if you got like 1000+ minutes of forwarded airtime. You may want to double-check that with Telus' customer service.

thanks for the try but
it is not a workaround at all, when you do forward it count as minute , and i will not pay to be able to forward and pay again for the minutes of all forward call!!! and at 1$ a minute it is not a workaround

i am look for a real solution that work.

thanks
