AOL Talk & Routing Calls via BT 1280

Info for readers who use the AOL Talk package and who have relied on the 1280 prefix to keep BT 1571 and Caller Display free.

I made 2 calls on 17th and 18th November to 0845 numbers prefixing them with 1280 to comply with the requirements of BT to keep the above services free

Just checked my AOL Talk bill and these 2 calls have been charged to AOL. Therefore the 1280 prefix doesn't work anymore with AOL Talk.

Seems like you are not able to route any calls through BT anymore, so will incur BT charges for their services
