Hi,


Their are so many possible solutions one could write a novel on the subject.

If you want something very quick and easy. Buy a wall power socket timer for
your Fritz Box and configure it to switch the device on and off as necessary
(so it trips over to voicemail as being "unregistered" / "unavailable")
:) .

lol


Best wishes,

P.s. It would probably be entertaining to read others random selection of
suggestion.
