Hi,

Im looking at switching from BT to Plusnet for my home phone.

Can anyone confirm if they allow calls to be made with the likes of
1899 and 18866, or is this a no no?

Cheers,

Sean

Not sure, but I do know that BT are the only ones who, by law, *have* to
allow you to use CPS companies. Even if Plusnet allow it now, that could
stop it at any time they choose.

Technically these calls would work, although Plusnet would be well
with their regulatory rights to bar them. I assuming youre moving
your line rental to Plusnet.

Which begs the question, why havent BT transferred all their customers
to Plusnet?
