[LINK] Something on eBay

[richard@auscoms.com.au]

Stewart,

It would be a hard job proving that if you know which phone the calls were made
from, you therefore knew who made the calls (I mean legal proof, not "everyone
knows what happened" proof!).

I'd love access to the original sales pitch, which probably told the
parliamentary administrators that Telecards would solve all sorts of account
administration hassles!

Sadly,

clicking on the link today (Friday midday) shows

"The item you requested (465107215) is invalid or no longer in our 
database. Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, 
the item has expired and is no longer available."

I wonder if any other Linkers have had any experience with Telecards. I 
used to use one both here in Oz and O/s. I found it very useful. Not only 
did you not need the actual card to make calls, but you could make them 
from anyone's phone.

The thing I don't understand is why Telstra's records, indicating which 
phones the calls were made from, gives no clue to the Police as to whom 
made the calls.

Cheers
