EUTalk +18 and 18185

Does anyone know if you can use 18185 if you are subscribed to EuTAlk+18? I'm considering changing but am not quite sure if they bar prefix numbers.

Thanks

    If you leave your line rental with BT, as you have to with any CPS (Carrier PreSelect) calls provider, the answer is yes.

    CPS calls providers cannot bar prefix numbers, only line rental suppliers (except BT) can do that.
    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.

    Thanks Heinz, that's great. I think I will go ahead and change - it seems the best deal for a high daytime user.

    If you dont make any Intl Calls then BT Option 3 24/7 Geographical Calls with a 12 month rolling contract is cheaper at £4.95p a month then EuTalk 18 which has been renamed Eutalk Ultra and now averages out about £5.15p a month.

    euTALK+18 still appears to be available - 18 month contract, £1/month for 6 months and then £5.99/month for 12 months. I make that £4.33/month on average.

    My understanding was that they replaced the old tariffs with the new ones found here.
