Sky Talk (CPS not line rental) with 18185 or 1899

I have searched but cannot find a definitive answer to this.

I know that Sky Talk ( as in CPS not line rental) customers can no longer hop back onto BT so would have to pay for Caller ID if I wanted it. I also know that Sky line rental customers can no longer use indirect access numbers like 18185, 1899 etc.

However what I am unclear on is whether you can still use 18185 or 1899 if on Sky Talk Feetime/Anytime (CPS).

Can anyone clarify this for me please?

    Yes, you can.

    BT has to allow you access to indirrect access providers.
    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.
