I'm with BT with Talktalk as the cps. My calls to 1280 are not showing with either of them. Can someone tell me if inclusive weekend calls with BT are shown on the online account anywhere as I can't seem to see them only chargeable calls.0

Had a BT letter this morning about new charges/changes ( date in September), it said
if billed monthly you need to make 2 chargeable or inclusive calls a month,
if billed quarterly you need to make 6 chargeable or inclusive calls a quarter in order not to get charged for 1571.
I'll find the letter later to see anything relevant worth mentioning.0 -

Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Is it definite then that keeping line rental with BT and having calls from someone else via CPS be it Sky, Primus or anyone else will still allow you to use 1280 to route via BT?
If BT's statement only applies to people who have moved their line rental it is extremely misleading.0 -
This affects all CPS customers being migrated to WSC, regardless of your line rental. The only difference is prefixing 1280 when you are with BT means BT bills the call, where as on WLR the calls are billed to your WLR provider.
If you are on WSC regardless of WLR your calls will be billed to your CPS/WSC provider if you prefix 1280.
This ONLY affects the BT 1280 prefix however. Other operators IDA codes will still continue to function as normal so you can still use other providers for cheap international calls etc etc.0
