    Personally I pay onetel £10.99 per month and have all my local and National calls foc at anytime. Some of you out there may point out that my calls aren't free as I pay £10.99 but trust me my call charges prior to adopting this service were far higher.
    OK, I won't remind your those calls are not free of charge.

    I will say though that £10.99 would pay for 550 calls to UK 01/02 numbers if you were using 18866.

    But if you make 550 calls every month* (even when you're away on holiday) that's a good deal for you.

    *That's 18 calls a day, every day.
    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").

    With ntl 1571, if 1571 answers the call, but the caller doesn't leave a message, then 1471 doesn't work. It doesn't register who the last caller was, only who the last caller who didn't get picked up by 1571 was.

    This might sound petty, but if I get the tone which says I have a message, but that 'message' is just someone putting down the phone, I've no way of knowing who that was.

    [email="lol@wig"]lol@wig[/email]. But I'm sooooooo nosey, I NEED to know who has been calling!

    No, seriously, I work from home so the phone is engaged a lot, and it would be useful to have a fully working 1471.

  • Most of the people I know who have the service, rarely check it for messages & I end up calling them again anyway!!
