Itemised phone bills

[jon]

It would be interesting to know , if the police in any other major inquiry before 1985 , identified a phone call from one place to another , or was this impossible before 1985 ?

No, it is not, the itemised billing exists...

Police had means of obtaining these itemised bills...

How?

Mike, prove us and the BT historians wrong by publishing June and julys itemised bills which you say you have. It will end the argument.

I must apologise for an error. I stated the first digital exchange (typeX) opened in Hull, Nov 1984. This is incorrect.The first type X digital exchange opened 26 Jan 1984 in Cheltenham. the Information on the type Y digital exchanges is correct. always like to admit my errors

I don't doubt you NGB but could you point me to the last public support Andrew Hunter has made or is the support now private?

I would have though the words "actively" and "still" are explanatory enough, don't you Phil? If you need any more information the internet is your oyster.

What's wrong with asking the person I was talking to? NGB seemed to have no problem answering and I was careful to state I didn't doubt what NGB had said!

Do you believe that police did not have the technology or capability to trace phone calls locally made from one phone to another back in August 1985?

Yes, or no?

[vidvic]

Completely different question mike. Please just post the claimed itemised bills with local calls on them.

A record does exist which was obtained by the police, but there are some people who appear to be trying to argue that because itemized billing was not available to the public en masse back in August 1985, in that part of the UK, then it would be impossible for the police to obtain such information?

You all need to review your thinking...

It's a bit silly a concept in my view that the police couldn't trace individual calls.  Surely the authorities have been tracing calls for years.  For the purpose of espionage or counter terrorism.  IRA were active in 1980's.

I remember that my mum had a stalker in the mid seventies and the police traced the calls in order to catch him.They traced them back to a phonebox.But they did catch him in the end,fortunately!

As soon as she told them , they went back and found were they were sent from , or they monitored the line after she told them ?
