    If you go through the process with the above link and then in a different browser window try the Quidco link it should say something like 'you already have an order in process' — continue with the Quidco link and it should pick it up. Mine's tracking but not validated...
  • Looks like its available now online

    Thanks very much for the link. I got my installation sorted out speedily, with all the options I wanted. I had previusly spent two hours on the phone talking to three people, none of whom seemed able to help. What a frustrating waste of time that was.

    Found a way around Sky talk to make chargeable calls on BT finally!!!!!! Took me a few months writing to sky and calling BT.
    Solution is:- The 1471-3 service is a chargeable BT service, if you use this service you are charged by BT meaning that if you use it 5 times you have used the 5 chargeable calls as requested when you signed up to Line Rental Saver. I trust this will clarify your issue.
    ( THe last caller number is read out when u call 1471 and then option 3 dials them back. Once the call gets answered disconnect) Call your mobile and disconnect - AS SIMPLE AS THAT.



    I made this and got charged on the BT bill and guess what from now I wont get charged on BT the penalty of £4++ for not making chargeable calls.

    Hope this helps a few people.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker Car Insurance Carver!
    17p for each use of 1471-3
    11½p connection
    7p for the first minute

    So each of those calls costs at least 35½p.

    OTOH, you may save £3 or so.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • Anyone have any info regarding the 18 month contract with free line installation which i got 18 months ago. My contract ends this month and i'm wondering if i leave things as they are will i be on another 12 - 18 month contract or is it just a monthly contract ? I may be getting my home phone through o2 in a month or two.
