Direct Debit is now widely recognised as the most efficient method of bill payment. From 28th April 2017 we will be introducing a £1.25 charge for businesses who pay by by non-Direct Debit methods, such as BACS or cheque. This is largely due to the level of efficiency this method offers as well as the increasing administration and resource costs associated with BACS and cheque payments.

Paying by Direct Debit is simple to set up and will save your business time and resource. If you wish to start paying your business bills by Direct Debit, simply download, fill out* and return the form below by Tuesday 25th April 2017. Alternatively, you can scan and email it to bacsdirectdebits@jtglobal.com. *Customers will multiple accounts will need to complete a form per account.

If you have any questions, please contact; Business Accounts – For customers with business products, please contact your Account Manager or our dedicated business support team on 882345. Home Products – For business customers with home products only, please contact our team on 882882.

The balance brought forward is the amount outstanding from the previous bill(s). Usually this figure is zero, although sometimes, due to payment being received after the bill date or part payment of a previous account, a balance may appear e.g. If you are late paying your current bill then your bill for next month may have a “balance brought forward” as it may already be printed or in the post.

If you think you won’t be able to pay your bill this month, please contact our Credit Department on 882702 to discuss alternative payment arrangements.

If you recieve a paper bill and would like a full itemisation each month there is a charge of £3.00. If you have paperless billing and manage your bill online, you can view a full itemisation each month completely FREE of charge.

Did you know, you can choose to have a combined bill for your mobile and fixed line? This not only means you have all your phone bill account information at hand at the same time but it also saves on paper resources to help the environment – it’s called converged billing. Just call us on 882882 or email accountscustomer@jtglobal.com to discuss any of the above information or request any of the above services we offer on your phone bill.

If you know that you will be out of the Island for a long period of time please contact our Credit Department on 882702 and we’ll be pleased to advise how you can make arrangements to cover your forthcoming bills.

Most of our customers receive a monthly bill, though some older accounts are billed quarterly. Bills are dated 28th of the month. You should receive your bill within 14 days of the bill date. We do allow approximately 21 days from the date of postage before we chase payment. All bills will receive a reminder, upon receipt of which payment must be made within 7 days to avoid loss of service.

If you have not received your bill please contact us. It may be that your billing address is incorrect after moving, or you have mislaid the bill – whatever the reason we can arrange for a copy of the bill to be sent to you. There is a charge of £5 per copy bill.

Service charges This is your monthly line rental, the charge for this will depend on which tariff you have chosen. If you would like to change your tariff please contact us.

• Usage charges This is a total for the amount of usage (calls, text, data etc.) you have used in the billed month.
• Pro Rata If you have changed your tariff, just been connected or just disconnected, then we will bill you for a pro-rated amount of your tariff.
• One off charges You could have a one off charge for a number of reasons, this could be for admin, connection, disconnection or a change of number.

CR = Credit DR = Debit

When you are roaming abroad, any text messages you send will appear on your bill as roamed calls. These text messages will appear on your itemisation as calls to 07797704000. Is this the reason why your bill shows more roamed calls than you remember making? If not please contact our Billing Department on 882882.

07797704000 is our SMS message centre number, this is a phone number that acts as a gateway for transferring SMS messages between mobile devices. When you send a text message it is sent to our message centre which forwards it on to your intended recipient which is why this number appears on your bill. One text message is 160 characters; if you go over 160 characters you are actually sending multiple text messages. If your bill shows you having called 07797704000 several times within a few seconds this is because you have used over 160 characters.

If you’ve moved, any rented equipment you’ve taken with you will be listed under your old address. Simply contact us on 882882 and we can move the equipment on our records. Or, if you no longer require the rented equipment you can return it to our Retail Outlet at 18 Queen Street and it will be taken off your account (subject to any applicable minimum term rental charges).

Your bill will show charges at an address that was current at any time during the last bill period. In this way, call charges for your old address will appear on your bill up to the date that the line was moved or disconnected.

Rental charges for lines or equipment are billed monthly or quarterly in advance. For example, if you receive a bill for 28th February it will show rental charges for the next month, up to 28th March. However, if a new line is fitted or you change the tariff your phone line is on, the rental charges will be calculated depending on the number of days to the next month or quarter end date. For example, if your new line was fitted on the 15th August and your next bill is dated 28th August you will be charged for 14 days rental. Similarly, if you change your phone line tariff you will be billed at the old rate from the date of the previous bill up to the date the tariff was changed, and then for the new tariff up to the next bill date. It may also be that you’ve asked for your line or equipment rental to stop before any applicable minimum rental term has expired, in which case the full term charges will be charged to you.

You can pay your bill by one of the following methods:

We will soon be upgrading our JT Billing Manager platform.
The upgrade is scheduled to take place Friday 24th April, commencing at 6pm, completing on Monday 27th April at 9am.
During this time period, there will be no access available to the JT Billing Manager platform.
You can find a list of all the new benefits which will soon be available to you at this link.
If you would like to ask us anything at all about these changes please get in touch through email at We also have a list of FAQs that may help with any queries you may have at this link.

Your Password

 

When you first connect to the JT mobile service, you will be asked to provide a password. This password is an essential part of the measures taken to protect mobile customers from unauthorised use of their mobile phone.

There may be occasions when you need to contact JT to give instructions, or obtain information such as your PUK number (see below) over the telephone. No instructions will be accepted and no information will be given out to you unless you can provide the correct password. If you are unable to provide the correct password, you will be required to provide a valid proof of identity (the photographic ID you gave when you purchased your mobile handset will be acceptable). This is particularly relevant when you are outside the Island and either accidentally block your mobile phone or it is lost or stolen. Note: If you are connecting on behalf of a business you will be asked to provide a company password and a contact name and number. If applying for service in your own name you will be asked for your Mother’s maiden name as a password.

Security PIN Code

Each time you turn your mobile phone on, you will be required to input a 4 digit security PIN code. This Personal Identity Number, provided at the time of connection to the JT Mobile Service, is to protect your handset from being used should it be lost or stolen. The security PIN code can be changed at any time by using the programming menus on your mobile phone.

The PUK Code

 

Any attempt to enter your PIN code incorrectly three times in a row will result in your mobile phone becoming ‘locked’. This security feature is provided to prevent unauthorised use of your mobile phone.

If you accidentally enter a wrong security PIN code three times in a row and consequently block your phone, you are able to reactivate your service by entering the PUK code. The Personal Unlocking Key code is provided, together with your security PIN code, when you first connect to your mobile service. It is an 8 digit number which, unlike the security PIN code, cannot be changed. The PUK code should be kept secure and not carried with your mobile phone. Note: For your PUK number to be provided over the phone, you must be able to give us the mobile number for which you require the PUK number. Alternatively you can visit the Jersey Telecom Retail Outlet at 18 Queen Street and provide us with the mobile number for which you require the PUK number. To enter the PUK code follow the instructions in your mobile phone manual.

Recommendation to mobile customers We recommend mobile customers should insure their mobile handset against loss or damage, as part of household content insurance, to minimise the cost of replacing their mobile should it get lost or stolen.

Should you lose your mobile, or should it get stolen, you must report your loss to the Police. In this instance if you have a mobile contract you can contact us directly on 152 and we can deactivate your service. If you have lost a prepaid or ‘pay as you go’ mobile, you must go to the Police, who will liaise with us regarding deactivating your SIM.

At the heart of your mobile phone is the SIM card, or Subscriber Identify Module. Issued when first subscribing to the mobile network, it contains a small electronic microprocessor which holds information unique to your SIM. This information includes your GSM mobile number, your security PIN code and a memory for your most frequently dialed numbers.

A SIM card is rendered useless if any attempt is made to tamper with it, physically, optically or electronically. If your card is lost or stolen, you must immediately notify JT by calling the Mobile Services Helpline on 152 from any local phone, or +441534882152 if you are outside the Island. The SIM card will be deactivated and your personal details can be transferred to a new one. Replacement SIM cards are free of charge.

Mobile phone manufacturers are continually adding new state of the art features to their handsets, meaning your mobile phone is now like a miniature computer. From time to time your mobile phone will need to have its software updated in order to ensure it continues to function as it should.

There are a number of benefits that you may get by updating your handsets software such as:

• Enhanced functionality
• Additional features
• Bug fixes

Most importantly if your phone is not functioning correctly a software update can often solve these issues.

Call the Mobile Services Helpline on Freefone 882882 and wait for the prompt as follows.

1. If your product or service isn’t working and you need us to fix it press 3
2. If you require your mobile PUK number press 2
3. When prompted enter the mobile number you require the PUK number for
4. When prompted enter this number
5. Wait for the announcement of the PUK number

An automated PUK retrieval service is built into our IVR.

Phone can make and receive calls but ‘UK – JT GSM/Jsy Tel’ is not the network name in the display.

• Have you accidentally logged on to another network?
• It is possible in Jersey to log on to the Guernsey or even French GSM network, i.e. Sure or Airtel in Guernsey, no it isn’t
• Either move to a different location or set the handset to ‘manual’ network selection.

• Bailiwick of Jersey customers must dial +441534 555555
• Bailiwick of Guernsey customers must dial +441481 818818

Please setup the call forwarding rules on your handset. Calls may be forward to voicemail in four different scenarios:
1. Forward all inbound calls
2. Forward calls on no reply/no answer
3. Forward calls when busy, i.e. you’re engaged in another call
4. Forward calls when unreachable, e.g. your phone is turned off

Please dial the voicemail access number and follow the prompts to enable a notification option of your preference. There are 3 options available:
1. Receive an SMS notification
2. Receive an email alert
3. Receive an email alert that contains a copy of the recording

The easiest way to manage call forwarding is by using shortcodes.

How to setup call forwarding to the voicemail service:
1. Dial **FUNCTION_CODE*TARGET_NUMBER#

Where FUNCTION_CODE is either:
61 – to forward calls on no reply
62 – to forward calls when you are unreachable, e.g. when your phone is turned off
67 – to forward calls when busy, i.e. you’re engaged in another call
21 – to forward ALL calls

And TARGET_NUMBER is either:
00441534555555 when in Jersey
00441481818818 when in Guernsey

So as an example, if you were a Guernsey customer and you wanted to forward your calls to the voicemail service when busy you would dial: **67*00441481818818#

To check the status of a call forwarding rule:
Dial *#FUNCTION_CODE#

To cancel a call forwarding rule
Dial ##FUNCTION_CODE#
You can cancel all rules at once by dialing: #002#

If you’re calling within the Channel Islands, you can also dial 171. Please note this shortcode will not work when roaming.
Bailiwick of Jersey customers must dial +441534 555555
Bailiwick of Guernsey customers must dial +441481 818818

You can manage the way in which you’re notified of a new voicemail by dialing the voicemail access number.

There are 3 methods of voicemail notification that are available.

1. Receive an SMS notification (default)
2. Receive an email alert
3. Receive an email alert that contains a copy of the recording

a combination of these methods may also be used, e.g. you may receive an SMS notification AND an email alert.

Yes, pay-as-you-go roaming is now available and we are adding new countries and roaming partners every week. Check our full list of Roaming Partners for more details. How much does it cost? Making and receiving a large number of calls whilst you are away can be very expensive. Therefore, it is always advisable to check the Roaming Charges of the country you are visiting prior to leaving the Island.

If your contract mobile phone is lost or stolen, please call 01534 882882 immediately to have your service temporarily suspended. Once your service is suspended report the loss/theft to the Police and obtain a Police report for any subsequent insurance claim, it is particularly important that you do this if your mobile phone is lost whilst your abroad. Mobile phones are often handed into the Police so please check with them periodically. To obtain a replacement sim card, with your same mobile number please visit our Retail Outlet at 18 Queen Street where a new sim will be issued. Photographic ID will be required in the form of a Drivers License or Passport.

If you are concerned about the effects of base station RF signals upon human health, further information can be obtained from the latest WHO report, Electromagnetic Fields and Public Health, WHO fact sheet 304 (May 2006). This can be found at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs304/en/index.html Further information about the issues raised here can also be found by visiting the UK Department of Health website at www.doh.gov.uk. More information can also be found at: http://www.who.int http://www.nrpb.org.uk

(Specific Absorption Rate) It is possible to measure how much radio wave energy your body receives from each model of mobile phone. This is done by measuring the specific absorption rate or SAR. There is now a European standard method for measuring the SAR and manufacturers make this information available. You can also find the SAR values on your mobile handset manufacturer’s website, click on the relevant link below: http://www.apple.com http://www.nokia.com http://www.motorola.com http://www.samsung.com

Mobile phone handsets are low powered radiofrequency (RF) transmitters. Typically, they transmit in a range between 0.2 and 0.6 watts. There is no confirmed scientific evidence to suggest that using mobile phone handsets has an adverse effect on human health. However the RF strength decreases considerably with distance. If you are concerned about the use of mobile handsets then you can reduce the absorption of RF signals even further by using a hands free kit.

As with many new technologies, some people have been concerned about the possible health effects of using mobile phones. This is understandable and JT, along with the mobile industry as a whole, supports the extensive scientific research into these potential health issues. After more than 30 years of research and the publication of over 25,000 articles about the health effects of the type of radiation emitted by mobile phones, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that “Scientific knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals” and that a review of this literature “does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low level electromagnetic fields.” Further reviews conducted by national and international bodies have consistently concluded that there is no credible evidence to suggest that Radiofrequency (RF) exposure from mobile phones or base stations operating within international safety limits, International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) cause any harm to human health. All of JT’s base stations and the mobile phones that we sell operate well within these international safety limits. We are confident that mobile phones do not harm health but also appreciate the need to remain up to date on all information about this subject. JT is committed to passing on the latest information about any potential harm caused by mobile phone equipment to our customers in order that people can make fully informed choices about their mobile phone use.

So long as we have a roaming agreement in-place with the country you are visiting, you can use your phone as you do at home. When you arrive turn your mobile on and enter your PIN as usual. Your handset should automatically search for an available network and register as soon as it has found one. You can then talk and text as normal. What’s the difference between manual and automatic network selection? If your phone does not automatically pick up a network you can select one manually as follows: Settings – Phone – Operator Selection – Manual Your mobile will perform a scan of all available networks. Hi-light and select a suggested network.  If your first selection is unavailable, try another. If problems continue please call our Mobile Services helpline on: JT – +44 1534 882882.

Most GSM handsets offer a choice to select a new network, automatically or manually. Automatic Settings The default setting, in most cases, is automatic, which instructs your mobile to automatically connect to the strongest network signal available. As you move, the handset will continually monitor the available networks, and keep you connected to the strongest one. Manual Settings In a manual network selection setting, your mobile handset will detect if there is more than one network present and offer you a choice. If you then select one network, your mobile phone will remain connected to it regardless of the alternative networks available. You may prefer to remain connected to one network if it offers cheaper outgoing call charges. To manually select networks please refer to your mobile phone user manual for instructions. Your JT SIM card can store a list of your preferred roaming partners. If you have an automatic network selection setting, and there are two networks of equal strength available, the mobile phones will connect you to the one that is highest on your SIM card’s preferred list. The list can be edited by using the appropriate menu on your mobile phone. Check your mobile phone user manual for details.

A few simple preparations and checks before you travel may help to prevent difficulties when you arrive:

• We have a large number of roaming partners throughout the world and the list is being added to monthly. Before you travel, check that the destination you are travelling to has a compatible GSM Network.
• If you are travelling to a country that has an electricity supply using a different voltage or sockets, ensure that your battery charger is compatible and you have an appropriate socket adapter.
• If you have a pay-as-you-go service, make sure you have sufficient credit, either already loaded or as top-up cards.  It may be an idea to register on our online top-up facility before you travel.
• Decide whether you want to receive incoming calls whilst travelling. You may prefer to divert all incoming calls to your Message Manager.  We have a bolt-on available that allows free incoming calls when roaming for a monthly charge of just £5.
• Check that your handset is insured in the event of loss or breakage.

Call our Mobile Services Helpline from an alternative phone on +44 1534 882882 for assistance while you’re away. *standard charges apply. For quality control, security, accounting and training purposes, calls to and from JT will be recorded and may be monitored.

• Try switching your mobile off for at least 1 minute and then power back-up.  Re-enter your PIN.  This may solve the issue.
• Check Service Centre Address :
• Messaging – Message Settings – Text Messages – Message Centre
• Make sure your message centre number is set to +447797704000
• If you are still having problems please report your fault online or call 882882.

Unfortunately we cannot block a mobile number from contacting you, however we can offer some advice on how to deal with unwanted SMS:

•   Never send a reply SMS to the sender.
•   Never call the sender or any number contained within the message.
• If you feel the content of the SMS to be of an abusive manner, we suggest you contact the States of Jersey Police or the Data Protection Office who will offer further advice. However deleting and ignoring the messages remains the best policy.

Please be careful when completing application forms for store cards, surveys or any related forms as this is where your number may be captured and distributed to third parties.

• Make sure your phone is correctly configured by visiting the handset configurator.

•  Has your handset been able to connect previously? If so please switch off your handset, power back-up and re-try.
•  Is this the first time you’ve tried to connect? Please visit our handset configurator to make sure your phone has the correct settings.
•  If your handset is not listed on the configurator or you have ported your number to JT please call 882882 as you cannot use this service. The iPhone requires the settings to be entered manually.

Please call Mobile Services helpline on 882882 for further assistance.

Text Messages Yes but you will not be able to send a Text Message or see that a message has been received if your browser is open. If you have set up your mobile so that a tone is played when a message is received you will still be notified in this way. Voice Calls Yes, data transfer is suspended while you make or receive a voice call. What affects the speed of my mobile data service connection? Many factors such as; the capability of your mobile phone, the network capacity that is available, the strength of the 4G signal, your compression settings (if you are using compression software on your laptop or hand held device) and the type of interconnection you are using e.g. bluetooth, infrared or cable.

Yes, but please be aware that this will incur additional data roaming charges.

Mobile data charges abroad

For information about our mobile data charges whilst abroad please see our Roaming section.

No, your mobile data services tariff only includes your connection to the GPRS network and the data you transfer to and from your mobile. Voice calls are charged according to the mobile tariff you are connected to.

It’s always possible that electronic devices can lose data stored in their memory. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as impact damage, faulty components, water damage etc. Therefore it is strongly recommended that you periodically back up all of the data stored in your phones memory. This can be done by keeping a written or printed copy of your contacts or by regularly backing up your data to a PC using the data cable and software provided with your handset. Our Retail Outlet sells data cables and other equipment that will allow you to connect your handset to your PC.

We will provide you with a free Tilgin router as part of our managed broadband service.

The good news is that you don’t have to because we do it for you! When we install your router at your home, we’ll configure your router with your SSID and password so you can connect your devices and get online straight away. We will retain a record of this SSID and password selected at the initial set up, however should you change your password, we will still be able to log in to your router and retrieve your password for you. Please keep your Wi-Fi password secure and only share with those you are happy to be connected to your wireless network.

If you’re collecting or buying your router from our shop, our team will configure your router for you. This means that you can turn it on and connect your devices to your home network straight away.

If you’re moving house, please take your router with you to your new home. This will mean you don't need any details changing and you can connect to your home Wi-Fi network in your new home as soon as your router is plugged back in. Watch our ‘Moving your JT services to your new home’ at the end of this page for a step-by-step guide of what to do.

There are a couple of things that we recommend trying before you contact us:  

TIP: Don’t touch the ‘Wi-Fi’ button on your router when you’re trying to fix the issue. If you’ve already pressed the button before reading this, go back and press it again to get back to where you were!

1. Find your ONT/Genexis box  2. Make sure the cables are connected properly Power lead is coming out of the top right and leading into an electrical mains socket. The Ethernet cable is connected into port number 1 – if it’s plugged into any of the other ports the service won’t work. The other end of the Ethernet cable goes into the grey WAN port on the back of the Tilgin router. If it’s plugged into any of the yellow ports it won’t work. 3. Make sure the power lead coming out of the Tilgin goes into a mains electricity socket and it’s turned on. 4. Has the Tilgin or the ONT got any flashing lights?

•  Yes - Unplug the black power lead from the top right of your ONT and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes. Once 10 minutes has passed, plug the lead back in and wait 2 minutes before seeing if there are lights flashing.

• No – Follow the power lead back to the socket and make sure it’s plugged in and switched on.

If the socket is switched on and the Tilgin still doesn’t light up, check the black/white power button on the back of the router is pressed in.

• If you’ve done all of these checks and your ONT/Tilgin isn’t giving a Wi-Fi signal you need to be sure the socket isn’t broken. You can do this by plugging in a hoover/hairdryer/lamp. If the socket isn’t working it’s your responsibility to get an electrician/check the circuit breaker.

5. Do you know your Wi-Fi network password?

•  Yes - Go into your ‘Wi-Fi’ Settings on your device and select ‘Forget Network’. Reselect your ‘Wi-Fi’ Settings and if your home network appears as available this means that your Wi-Fi is working. Select your home network and re-enter your password. Open the internet or an application that requires data access and if the page loads correctly your Wi-Fi is working.

• No – Please contact our faults team so that we can run some further tests and do all we can to help you.   

I have a data point that splits the Ethernet cable into different rooms, should I follow these steps too? Yes, the same principal applies; the ethernet cable comes out of the ONT, goes into the data point and there’ll be another data point in your house which the cable will come out of which will then go into the grey WAN port on the Tilgin.

These steps run through the general steps that anyone needs to take to get connected to the internet via Wi-Fi. Step 1: Get yourself in a property or public space that has a wireless router which is transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. Step 2: Make sure that the device you're going to use is a.) Capable of connecting to the internet and b.) Capable of connecting to Wi-Fi. Step 3: Find out the name of the Wi-Fi network that the router in your location is transmitting. Each Wi-Fi network has its own unique name. Sometimes this can be a sequence of random numbers and letters — but usually people will personalise the name of a Wi-Fi network to help you identify its owners. E.g. "The Smith Family" or "Bob’s Cafe". Step 4:  Once you know the name of the Wi-Fi network, use your chosen device to find it. This will vary between devices depending on whether you're using a Windows or Mac computer, or a mobile device. However, the process for connecting to Wi-Fi is broadly similar, following something along the lines of: Settings > Wi-Fi > turn Wi-Fi on > click on the name of your Wi-Fi network > The majority of Wi-Fi networks are private, with access given via a password. If your chosen Wi-Fi network is password protected, at this point it will ask you enter that password. Make sure you have the password at hand, and enter it > Join

The wireless key is another name for the password that you use to get into your wireless network. Always keep this password secure and only share with those who you are happy to be connected to your wireless network. An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name which is broadcast by your wireless (WLAN) router. It’s the name that appears for your device to connect to when you’re searching for wireless networks. When we install your router we’ll create an SSID and password for you so that you can connect your devices and access data straight away. If you’re moving house, remember to take your fibre router with you; that way, all your network and passwords will stay the same in your new property.

Follow these 7 steps to get your wireless password from your Tilgin router: 1. Connect a device directly into the Ethernet ports on the back of the Tilgin. 2. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar. 3. When the Tilgin configuration page loads enter these login credentials in the top-right boxes:

Username: admin< /br> Password: admin

  4. Click on the ‘WIRELESS’ tab across the top. 5. Select the name of your network. (In the example the network is called ‘Cheesecake’) 6. On the left hand navigation pane select ‘Security’ 7. Then whatever is listed in the ‘Passphrase’ field will be your password – in the example it’s ‘password’.  

If your connection feels slow and is secure how many people are using the connection? Bandwidth may be reduced due to the amount of devices accessing the router. For example games consoles, such as PlayStations, could be using a large amount of bandwidth if someone is gaming online. The nearer your router is to where you use it, the better your experience will be. 1) Router keeping tips:

• Move your router away from the window (signal being lost to the outside)
• Keep your router on show (don't trap signal in the cupboard)
• Keep your router on a shelf or table
• Keep it away from the TV and water (fish tank etc)

2) Device keeping tips:

• Keep your devices up to date by doing any updates
• Laptops and computers are fitted with bigger antennas, so they'll be able to receive Wi-Fi in more places around your home
• Restart the devices connected to your home network regularly to prevent 'tiredness'

3) Who are you sharing your network with? Your network can become congested when lots of devices connect to it. Parental Controls with Haandle enable you to control the connectivity of devices to your home network. If you're not using a device, it's always good to turn it off and give it a rest, and this will help free up the Wi-Fi for the devices you are using too.

Will I be charged?

If you’re having difficulties connecting to the internet on your JT broadband connection, then it could be because of a problem with the network. If the fault is on the JT network we’ll send out an engineer to fix it, and you won’t be charged. Some faults may be caused by a problem with the internal wiring or equipment at the property. JT is responsible for the line up to and including the NTP (Network Terminating Point) - the point at which our network cable enters your home or premises. If an engineer visits and the source of the fault is proved to be your internal wiring or equipment, you will be charged for the visit. Engineering visits may incur charges.

Spam is the term used to describe unsolicited or undesired electronic messages.

Examples include text messages claiming that recipients have won a cash prize. Another one is claiming that recipients have been awarded a sum of money related to a personal injury claim. We advise anyone receiving such an SMS to contact us via scamhelp@jtglobal.com. – please include your mobile number and approximate time at which you received the message.

For more information please contact Mobile Services on 882882.

Phishing / Scam Calls
In recent years there has been an observed increase in ‘phishing’ attacks via the telephone  – designed to obtain personal information from the recipient.

One common example of this is customers receiving calls from individuals claiming to be from their bank. These people attempt to obtain personal details / passwords etc from the victim.

Do not be afraid to ask apparent ‘official’ organisations to prove their own identity to you. Do not divulge any information until you are satisfied of the true identity of the caller. If you cannot be sure best advice is to hang up the call and call your bank directly. Appropriate contact numbers can be found on your bank’s website. They will also be able to advise whether the previous caller was indeed from their organisation.

If it turns out that the call was indeed from a fraudulent source or you receive any calls which you believed to be involved with phishing or enticement fraud – please send us details of the call i.e. apparent origination (dial 1471 if no caller display), time of call, your own phone number and any details you have on the call content to: scamhelp@jtglobal.com. This will enable us to investigate and share any relevant information with the Police – whilst also attempting to locate the true source of the scam.

A fairly basic but useful rule of thumb is: If it sounds too good to be true – it probably is. Fraudsters using e-mail as a method of luring potential targets is currently booming – and still on the rise. Below are some points on how to spot scams and avoid becoming a victim. Be aware that the fraudsters responsible are always looking for ways to convince the consumer of their validity, so keep your wits about you at all times.

Common Themes

• The individual claiming terminal illness – expressing desire to part with life savings as a final wish.
• Claims that you have won a prize in a lottery.
• Claims that you have been left sums of money – often via some fictional relative.
• Messages claiming to be from some kind of government official – with a desire to release funds in your favour.
• Secret agents threatening your life unless you part with cash.
• Messages claiming to be from a courier or delivery firm – suggesting they are holding something of value for you.
• Poor or unusual use of English.
• Odd use of capital letters.
• Requested reply address not matching the address from which the e-mail originated.
• Mail originating from generic source e.g. @live.com or @aol.com.

The near guaranteed theme running through these messages is that at some point you will be asked to part with money in order to release funds – this request may not come in the first ‘bait’ mail – but this is the eventual aim of the fraudster.

Tell –tale signs and e-mail characteristics
Requests for personal information in the form:-

1. Full Name:
2. Sex:
3. Age:
4. Occupation:
5. Country:
6. Contact Phone Number:

Some, all or none of these characteristics may feature in any given e-mail scam – use them simply as a guide. Another way to authenticate potentially fraudulent messages is to enter part of the message into an internet search engine.

What do I do with an email scam?
The best advice is to never reply. Scam e-mails are sent out in bulk, the addresses having been purchased by the fraudsters or obtained via web crawling software, as soon as you reply your address will be moved onto a list of ‘authenticated’ addresses by the perpetrators.

As a result you will receive more and more scam e-mails, putting you at further risk, whilst it is also likely that your details will be sold on to other scammers.

Jersey is a community built on trust and compassion – which unfortunately are traits which can put you at risk online. If you receive an e-mail which you believe to be a scam simply delete it. If you really cannot be certain of a messages validity forward it to us at scamhelp@jtglobal.com and we will be able to advise.

Hotel and Guest House Fax Scam

A number of hotels and guest houses have reported receiving phone calls from individuals asking for the hotel or guest house’s brochure to be faxed. The caller refuses to accept email copies or hard copies of the brochure in the post.

The number that the caller gives begins 070 and when the hotel or guest houses faxes the brochure or information, it can take up to 10 minutes to complete the transmission. It is believed that the caller is slowing down the fax machine so that the call takes longer.

The fax number that is being given is not a premium rate number but what the industry defines as a ‘personal number’. These numbers are generally allocated to people who habitually move location e.g. sales representatives. However, there has recently been an increase in the misuse of this type of number.

Any business who rings in to enquire what can be done about these calls should be advised that:

• Unless they believe the calls to be absolutely genuine, the request for information should be ignored.
• The exact 070 number should be reported to Ofcom (the Office of Communications) on 0845 456 3000 who can investigate further.

Further information on personal numbering can be found on the Ofcom website.

Rogue Dialer Software

Unfortunately, the BT Privacy Online software is no longer available. However, there are some very reliable and effective alternatives that we strongly recommend.

The following software solutions offer users a free trial, but will need to be purchased if you wish to keep them.

Optimaccess

(Please note: JT is not responsible for the content of external websites)

Both these applications work by strictly controlling the numbers that your computer is allowed to dial. If a dialler is installed without you adding the number to the allowed list, it will immediately hang up the connection preventing you from running up an expensive phone bill.

These programs are not a substitute for anti-virus, anti-Spyware, firewall or Windows Update, but they will add another layer of defense against unwelcome changes to your dial-up connection.

Incidents of premium rate number scams and hoaxes have increased significantly. Calls of this nature can often be an invitation to you to enter a prize draw or announcing that you have won a competition and that by dialling another number, customers can collect a prize. Customers are given a number to dial, which is invariably a premium rate number with a high associated cost to the customer.

Competition lines
There has been an increase recently in competition calls that offer a prize if you ring a certain number to give your details and collect the prize. The number that is given is invariably a premium rate number which has a high associated cost to the customer. Often these numbers begin with the dialling codes 090 or 091.

Customers should bear in mind that despite calling the number, there may not actually be a prize. These phone calls are purely to generate revenue by getting customers to call numbers with a high associated call charge.

Customers should use common sense, and if the offer of prizes or cash sounds too good to be true then it probably is, and the call should be ignored.

However, if customers do want to make the phone call to verify their winnings, they should always check the costs associated with dialling the number in question by calling our freephone number 0800 735 2500.

There are a number of ways that you can deal with premium rate calls to your phone.

Telephone Preference Service (TPS)
In the first instance, customers should register their telephone number with the TPS. The Telephone Preference Service (which is administered by the Direct Marketing Association) run a suppression scheme that makes telemarketing companies aware of numbers that need to be removed from their lists. This service cannot guarantee that you will never receive such calls again, but they should become less frequent. Registration forms are available by calling Freefone 0800 398 893, or visiting www.tpsonline.org.uk.

ICSTIS
Premium Rate Services are regulated by ICSTIS (the Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services). ICSTIS is the body responsible for regulating the content and promotion of premium rate services. It publishes a code of practice which provides guidelines on how these services must be provided.

ICSTIS investigates complaints and has the power to fine companies and bar access to their services. If you have premium rate charges appearing on your phone bill and wish to lodge a complaint about the company operating the premium rate service, you should report it to ICSTIS who may be able to help. ICSTIS can be contacted by telephone on 0800 500212 and they have a useful website atwww.icstis.org.uk.

Please note – ICSTIS has no control over international rate diallers.

Advanced Services Number Block
Customers can also use the Jersey Telecom Number Block service. This service is free and blocks calls from UK or other Channel Island callers who withhold their number, and should help to deter unsolicited phone calls.

However, customer should note that it is not technically possible for JT to prevent customers from receiving calls of this nature when they originate outside of the UK. This is because there are inconsistencies in the delivery of calling line identification across international boundaries which prevents Number Block from working on calls from outside the UK.

This service will present a problem for ex-directory friends who wish to telephone you but they can temporarily release their number each time they need to get through by using the Advanced Services Number Release. These are both free services, the instructions for which can be found in the Advanced Services section of the telephone directory.

Outgoing call barring
If you think that someone in your household is dialling premium or international rate numbers, you can control access by using our Outgoing Call Barring service. This is a chargeable service that allows you to control the types of calls made from your telephone, including barring any calls to Premium Rate Services. Information on Outgoing Call Barring is available from our shop at 18 Queen Street or by dialling 0800 735 2500.

How to deal with unwanted calls

Silent or malicious calls can be extremely distressing and cause considerable inconvenience to our customers. They may also be committing a criminal offence under Article 51 of the Telecommunications (Jersey) Law 2002 which states:

Any person who –
(a) sends, by means of a public telecommunication system, a message or other matter that is grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character; or

(b) for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another, sends by those means a message that he knows to be false or persistently makes use for that purpose of a public telecommunication system,

shall be guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale, or both.

Many customers are not aware that nuisance calls can be against the law. Repeated and persistent calls should always be reported to the Police, but you can also can help to deter this type of calls by taking some simple precautions whenever you answer your phone.

You are in control
Your phone is there for your convenience only. Some nuisance callers may dial you at random, others may actually be known to you, but whichever group they fall in to, remember that you are in control.

Keep calm
The majority of nuisance callers gain their pleasure from getting an emotional response from the person they call. If you keep calm and show no emotion, they are cheated of that pleasure. This may discourage them from repeatedly phoning you.

Don’t answer with your number
When you answer the phone, simply say ‘hello’ rather than giving your name and number. Never volunteer information about yourself unless you are certain you know the caller. This may prevent a caller who dials numbers at random from remembering dialled numbers.

Make sure callers identify themselves first, and then choose whether or not to give away your name or number. In the same way, if you have a telephone answering machine, don’t record your name or number in your opening message, or say that you are out, on holiday or away on business – they should simply say that you can’t answer the phone right now.

If a caller asks ‘what number is this?’ reply by asking what number they wanted and then tell them whether they are right or wrong. Do not give your number voluntarily unless you know the caller. Advise other members of your household to do the same and to never answer any questions on the phone, no matter how innocent they seem, unless they know the caller.

Don’t feel obliged to talk to nuisance callers
If after following these general precautions you continue to receive nuisance calls. Try not saying anything when you next answer your phone. A genuine caller will speak first, a nuisance caller will probably hang up.

Bear in mind that some nuisance callers may want nothing more than a conversation. If you just put the handset calmly down beside the phone and ignore it for a few minutes before replacing it, the caller will be wasting their words on thin air.

Don’t give your details
If you are a woman, be careful of giving details of your sex or marital status in your telephone directory entry. Just use your initials instead of your first name(s).

Answering machines

You can screen your calls by using an answering machine. In this way you decide which calls to listen to and those that you won’t. If calls are abusive or obscene it may be necessary for you to keep the machine away from children who may otherwise listen to the messages. Answering machines can be purchased from our shop at 18 Queen Street.

Number change
We may be able to arrange for you to have a new telephone number and we also recommend that your new number is made ex-directory. You can then decide whom to give your number to. Remember, you should always take care not to let your number be too widely known.

Barring calls

We can arrange to stop all incoming calls to your number, so that you can only use your phone to make outgoing calls. This should only be considered as a final resort as it will obviously cause you considerable inconvenience if you are unable to receive calls from people you actually want to, or need to talk to.

Police
If nuisance calls become a persistent problem to you, you may decide to report the matter to the Police.

Under Article 51 of the Telecommunications (Jersey) Law 2002, the Police may ask JT to provide assistance in their investigation, and we may be able to trace the origin of calls made to your number.

In such cases, it would be helpful to the Police and the subsequent prosecution of the nuisance caller, if you keep a written record of the calls, noting date, time of day, whether the voice was a man’s or woman’s, what’s said and whether you heard any background noises etc.

You may need to be prepared to give evidence if the nuisance caller is eventually traced, charged and brought to court.
