    Have just phoned the 0800 328 9642 number given yesterday only to be told the number's nothing to do with e-billing, I got through to BT Broadband! Anyway he logged complaint and said they were aware of the problem (usual BT blah blah blah). He said e-billing was 0870 243 0126. Anyone would think we expect BT to be a communication company, more fool us!

    If you have Emailed Ben you will get a reply and a phone call later.

    He is one of the better sides of BT.

    I'm sorry to say this as I know you're unhappy/experiencing problems but in some ways you are also taking the p*** by emailing Ben Verwaayen for this.

    He offered his email address for people to contact him where people had complex/real problems that they not resolve via normal BT channels - not for routine issues which shoud go via he normal BT billing/complaints numbers or widespread errors that they know about and will be fixing themselves.

    Too many of this sort of email will no doubt result in him changing his email address and not accepting them from members of the public - as many other CEO's have done in the past.. which means those with really complex problems will be the ones to suffer in the long term..

    Regards

    0800 328 9642 is the correct number. I used that number and selected Option 3.

    I was answered within 3 minutes and was advised this is a known software problem which is being worked on and which will not result in any double billing.

    In any case, it's easy to check which are un-billed calls if you check online which was the last call charged for on your previous bill.
    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.
