    How can you pay BT when you don't have an account with them?

    As you have your line rental with Talk Talk, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to make calls via the prefix override providers (1899, 18866, 18185) using their 4 or 5 digit prefixes but you will probably be able to use their Freephone access numbers to reduce your non-inclusive call costs.

    You will not have to pay Talk Talk for those calls at all.
    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.

    If your on TT Line Rental you have left BT completely.

    If your using a 0844/0845/0870/0871 override access number your pay TT a connection fee and call charge as you obviously cant pay BT.

    If you can use the like,s of 18185/1899/18866 and not all TT customers can, unless you use their freephone access your pay 18185 etc etc.

    Havent you got inclusive calls on TT to your Intl Destination.
