Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Welcome to the MSE forums bubble08.
Only BT is required to allow access to prefix-dial and gateway providers. As part of the Vodafone package requires you to rent your landline from them (you cease paying BT for line rental and pay Vodafone instead), it is highly likely that access to prefix-dial providers such as 1899 and 18185 will be barred.
It is possible that, like Virgin Media have recently started to do, Vodafone will also progressively bar access to gateway providers too.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.

You can, of course, switch to a CPS and/or 1899/18185 etc. for your telephone calls immediately.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.
