BT6500 price change unhappy

Options
So my new BT6500 nuisance call blocker phone arrived yesterday after about 1 week wait. Set it up ok but thought I'd download the manual so went to BT site and to my horror the phone that I had just bought has suddenly got 25% off so my £69.99 phone is now £49.99 I also noticed that the phone is no longer available on the BT Shop site just the main BT site. I'm very unhappy with this and will be on the phone in hours time to sort out a £20 refund or the phone will be back in the box and on its way back!!!R1Sean

    If you had noticed that the price had increased to £89.99 would you have been on the phone to BT to pay them the extra £20?

    Probably not. But this is a money saving site, so being a bit cheeky or using the DSR's to your advantage to save £20 seems entirely worth it.

    BT offer Caller Line Identification for free. If your phone supports this, no more unwanted calls - you can just take the call, shout

    down the line and then hang up. Immensely satisfying....

    All of which does no good. The phone still rings and you still have to get up and look at the number. Shouting insults down the line only confirms that the phone number is genuine and a human will answer it. Your phone number goes higher in the phone spammers' list.

    The BT 6500 actively blocks calls so that the phone doesn't ring.

    A question. Can the 6500 be used with another phone on the line or must we buy a double/triple handset.
