Need cheap line rental (Primus?) with reliable online access to usage.. can you help?

Slightly unusual request... hope you can help.

I let out a holiday cottage. We provide a phone line for guests (it's actually barely used for outgoing calls but I want to keep it there for people for incoming calls / emergencies etc).

I pay the line rental.

After each guest, I check online to see if they've made any chargeable calls and if so, deduct the cost from their deposit.

I was with TalkTalk for a long time but began to have problems with checking the 'recent usage' online (and appalling customer service when I tried to rectify this!).
After posting a thread on MSE on the subject last year, I followed advice and switched to BT and have had a succesful year with them (contract expires mid June). The only problem is they seem to keep putting up their prices and also I've noticed there are providers who offer cheaper line rental.

e.g.

Primus Saver - £8.99

Yourcalls.net - £9.25

Euphony - £10.47

But these are no use to me if they don't provide a reliable online service showing recent usage...

Can anyone who has Primus (or the other two), tell me what their online service is like and whether you get accurate information about recent calls before the monthly bill comes through (ideally within 24 hours, like BT)?

Thanks

Anybody got Primus?

Problem solved (for this year anyway).
Saw this wonderful thread, called BT and they are offering to beat Primus's monthly rental! £8.54/month for whole year. Awesome!

I am still interested to know what Primus online service is like if anyone knows, as may use them in the future.
