Nothing's for free...but don't blame BT.
They want you online as often and as long as possible.
It's made easy for the lowest common denominator to spend money.
We are all now suffering on their behalf.

Brian's right - "It's very easy"
From IExplorer...Tools/Options/Connections "Never dial a connection"
This should stop most auto-dial software and allows you to check the number being dialled.
If you can't be bothered, then pay up AND shut up.

The internet is a playground and bullies WILL nick your sweets.
If it looks too good to be true, it probably aint.
Please, resist the urge to press every pretty button in sight.
You may be safer and our bills would be lower.
