    on b.t. line, put 18866 prefix on programmable button.do'nt want to connect.on normal dialling have to put s.t.d code after 18866 to get through on u.k. calls, 'is it me!?'.

    You always have to put in the full number, including std, even if calling next door icon7.gif

    So if that happens to me when I try to sign up for 1899 and I use my mobile number (which I do not want to be connected really because it is Orange PAYG), and I delete the mobile number after I add my home number, when I go to login, will it accept my home number for the login process?:confused:

    Yes. I had to do this when I signed up.

    Sorry Heinz, cross-post. I would have deleted it, but I want to dispute your ludicrous advice about making up a number.
    Worked for me!
    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.
