Had the letter arrive about this the other day.

NOW.. if I OPT IN I can get it FREE for the next 12months, they put me on a new 12month contract (I take it it's just an extension of the one I'm on now and not a new tarriff ?). But if you opt IN now, up to the 4th Jan you have to make two calls or you get charged £2 a month?

OR
I don't do anything and they start charging me for the service £1.75 a month from the 4th Jan... but no new contract for 12 month?

OR
do I OPT OUT, then I get no caller display with the number showing on my home phone and get cold calls?



I'm ex directory anyway.


what ever.. I'm stung anyway.. so is it better to not OPT IN... and let it just charge you £1.75 a month with no new 12 month contact?

BT are the original robdogs.

I wouldn't go near them again if they were the last telephone provider left.

cster

Change suppliers.
BT business plan is to rip people off by inertia and off hand, I can't think of a better example of this than the one which you have provided.

RA Dunk

Agree 100%, worst company there is. I left them years ago and haven't looked back.

Don't forget that 1571 is also now a chargeable option And it's on by default...

Phil, just opt in, surely you'll make 2 calls a month won't you.

salsa-king

if you OPT IN they put you on a new contract.
I've I don't opt in now. come 4th Jan you'll be paying 1.75 a month anyway.. but not on an 'new' contract.

I'll wait till then I think

Get rid of phone line, buy a cheap mobile phone on a sim only cheap as chips deal and just leave it in the house and use it as a home contact number. Some mobiles even have a 'black list' so you can block unwanted numbers as well.

I don't have a house number and I don't give my number out to companies in general. No cold calls, no hassle.

And with no phone line, you cant get internet!

You have to have line rental for internet, therefore a phone line?

At least that's how it is over my way? I have a phone number but it doesn't get used as I don't have a house phone.

House phones are always handy too as mobile signal is increasingly bad and sometimes the network is even down.

BULLITT

I haven't got a phone and have internet. I don't pay line rental on a phone line, just my monthly on the Fibre Optic internet (Virgin Media).

Fibre Optic internet doesn't use the phone line. There's just a white box with one cable to my hub. There isn't a socket to plug a phone in on the box, it's strictly for internet.

and we live in the Bermuda Triangle for mobile phone signal where we live.. 5miles from Nottm city centre! so that's pointless.

scousefly

Makes me giggle when I see things like this and people saying 'I wouldnt use them if they were the last ones on earth'

BT created the original infrastructure all the other 'companys' use that infrastructure at some point so in other words no matter who you go with BT are still getting your money some how ha ha ha ha ha

RA Dunk

Yes but we're paying alot less with other compnies for the same service we would be getting with BT so GIRFUY..

As I said earlier, one of the worst companies around.

scousefly

Yr talking bollocks so as u said GIRFUY bak at ye
