HELP Please.

I am just about to register with 18866 as your advice. I have 2 telephone lines. 1 for calls and 1 for the internet on my computer.
Can I put both numbers down for 18866 and will the computer pick up the computer one?

I ask this as I am with NTL and 18866 requires youto put their 0808 number before youmake a call. How will the computer do this?

Thanks for your advice. maisie

' I meant to say will 18866 pick up the computer phone line' I'm confused!!!!!!!

Maisie

I've answered my own question thanks!!

The 2nd line I only pay for line rental £7.50 as internet is free with NTL.
So no call charges.

If you've a valid e-mail address at work (to which 18866 can send your 'invoices' electronically) and a valid credit or debit card that should not present a problem AFAIAA.

Make a note of how to login to your account (the url and your account number) so, if it's ever necessary, you could login on a friend's computer or at an internet café.

Don't sign up with 18866 - their calls to UK 01/02 numbers cost 2p connection and 0.5p/minute from a cable landline.

1899 charge 3p connection and 0p/minute (if you like to talk, much cheaper).

When I had 2 lines I had both registered - so I could connect a phone to the computer line if I ever wanted to (I did once when the wife was nattering on the other line and I needed to make a call). 1899's systems will send you one e-mail 'invoice' - showing calls on each line separately. Or you can login to your account at any time to check your calls.

I curently have 4 lines registered - 3 of them 50 miles away at elderly relatives' houses (yes, I pay their tiny bills).

Thanks April 2. It will not confuse the NTL dial up will it if I register the computer tel. line?

No, you'll only be using 1899's 08081708708 freephone prefix if ever you have the need to plug a telephone instrument in and make a call. Otherwise, your computer will just dial out, as it does now, on the NTL line.

Thanks April 2. I finally registered with 1899
Just got confirmation.

April 2 is the OH's birthday too !!
