PlusNet home phone

I'm currently with BT and had been tied into an 18month contract
"Free UK* Evening & Weekend calls for 12 months on an 18 month contract. (Previously called BT Together Option 2 special offer)."
It costs me £10.50pm plus another £1.50 for Mobile Saver - Save up to 33% off call rates to UK mobiles.
This has now ended and im looking to change.

As i already have PlusNet broadband i was considering moving to their phone service, getting the Evening & Weekend package for £9.99pm

Can anyone give me any info on their phone service?
Also is it compatible with 18185?

    BT now own PlusNet, though I think they continue to block carriers like 18185.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    Plusnet does not advertise the full range of options that BT offers. Some options, although not advertised can be provided on request. Others are simply unavailable. BT provides Premium Rate Call Barring and Caller Display free of charge (with Privacy at Home -subject to conditions). These are chargeable options with Plusnet. There is no tie in to a long term contract unless one takes up one of its special offers.

    I use the service and have been happy with it apart from recent problems with late charging for calls. These problems seem to be over now.

    Now in 2011, Plusnet is still unable to offer Premium Rate Call Barring service while a whole load of companies can offer this service::(
