Onetel and 1571 answer phone service

hansi

I will be using OeeTel for free weekend calls, at all other times I will use 18866/1899 and my unanswered calls will go through BT 1571. Does this mean that at weekends I have to set up 1571 with OneTel for my weekend calls only? If so, it's going to be a drag!

Don't bother with the Onetel 1571, stick with the BT service and you should be okay.

Oops, I just did the Onetel 1571 service, can I cancel it or just leave it as it is?

Edinburghlass_2

lol, hansi, read all the other posts about how to cancel, if you ever get it on your phone line at all

Actually from memory, can you not cancel via the website?

I've also just realised that because I'm using One Tel for my weekend calls only, my 0845 numbers will automatically use One Tel, are they dearer than BT?

Yes BT is cheaper for 0845 numbers so dial 1280 to divert through BT and check out www.saynoto0870.com for a geographical number if possible.

Tell you a little secret....

I am looking for a theatre or cinema usherette ice-cream tray so I can put the laptop on it and have it hanging round my neck while I do the dishes

lol, I've probably asked this before( it's the age of this brain) but on my One Tel Calls at the weekend do I have to dial the area code for local calls?

Edinburghlass_2

No as Onetel will be carrying all your calls unless you are diverting via 18866/1899 or BT for those 0845 calls. If you are diverting from Onetel via those you then have to dial the area code as well.

Quick enough :rotfl:
