    You call 18185 and follow the prompts,as Plusnet still allow indirect access.

    It's not just a question of using a 18185 prefix, you have to sign up online for a 18185 account and specify a payment method (Direct Debit recommended) first.

    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.
