stops your telephone from receiving/making certain outgoing calls
How does it work?
You can bar certain types of outgoing calls. These are grouped together in the following way:
Group 1 - Bars all calls, excluding calls to emergency services
Group 2 - Bars national, mobiles and international calls
Group 3 - Bars international calls
Group 4 - Bars all operator calls and services (e.g. Directory Enquiries)
