What extra charges will BT add if I take Sky Talk?

Thinking of getting Sky Talk and Sky Ulimited broadband package when we move. But aware that we can no longer make any calls on BT using 1280.

What are the extra charges that BT will apply to our basic line rental because we wont be able to make any calls?

Are there any other disadvantages apart from this extra cost?

Will Sky contune to allow 18185 for the foreseeable future?

We're light phone users and the reduction from £15pm, only Sky Unlimited BB, to £10.00pm of for Sky Talk & Unlimited BB seems worth it.

    Searched and found this on BT site..

    Call Features at no extra cost. Customers must make at least two chargeable calls with BT per month, otherwise BT reserves the right to charge £3 a month for BT Caller Display or £1 per a month for the standard BT Answer 1571 service.

    Will BT remove the 1571 service if requested and thus negate the one-offf charge?

    BT confirmed that 1571 can be removed and no extra charge for not making min no of calls. So I'll need an answering machine.
