That would work.

Hi All

Wouldnt it be great if BT/GPO had upgraded the cable to all our houses just as we all have had to rewire our home electrics over the years.

I am transfering to Idnet Homephone as BT prices are not transparent and becoming expensive.

Do Idnet offer a numberwithheld option like BT do ( with BT its FOC !!!) ?

I assume basically I am remaining with BT but with Billing transfered to IDnet . So can I easily transfer elsewhere ( or back to BT) in the future if I wished with no expense and complication?

We dont use the phone a lot but in the current economic climate I like most need to save every penny , do others find Id phone as good as the ADSL service ( my line is rubbish but thats down to BT/ GPO as was).

All the services like caller ID, etc, are available with IDNet. All they take over is the billing. My own number is withheld, and that didn't change when I moved to IDNet's phone services.

Hi Simon

Thanks for the reply, I thought that would be the case, we withheld our number many years ago after a spate of "funny" calls were cleared up.

I will check with the office on Monday that it is added on the transfer next week.

I've not had any updates to my phone call log since July 28 and it's certainly not because no-one has made a call from this household !

Is it the same for everyone else? If not, I will put in a call to Support?

Rik · Aug 04, 2009, 18:12:10

Nothing for this month. Either the data hasn't come through from BT, or the system has failed.

JohnH · Aug 04, 2009, 18:18:29

Thanks Rik - I suspect the former is the more likely scenario.

Rik · Aug 04, 2009, 18:19:00

I've dropped support a note, just in case.

Rik · Aug 05, 2009, 16:24:02

Now updated.

JohnH · Aug 05, 2009, 21:40:50

Thanks Rik.

I have just checked my call log for July and find that I have been billed for every call, even though I am on the anytime package.

I have emailed Support, you might want to check your own Call Log too

Simon · Aug 06, 2009, 23:08:31

I was just billed for a call to a mobile, so mine is OK.

Rik · Aug 07, 2009, 09:09:40

Mine's fine too.

Ray · Aug 07, 2009, 09:17:09

Mine's OK too.

JohnH · Aug 07, 2009, 17:21:36

No problems here, either. All as it should be

JohnH · Sep 15, 2009, 16:55:04

Is it just me or has no-one else had an update to their phone log since 8 September?

Rik · Sep 15, 2009, 16:58:47

Nothing since the 5th, just checking...

Rik · Sep 15, 2009, 17:01:31

Being checked at ID Towers now.

JohnH · Sep 15, 2009, 17:07:45

Maybe it's going to be free as we're all such nice people.

Rik · Sep 15, 2009, 17:11:47

JohnH · Sep 15, 2009, 19:24:30

Just had calls for 14th and 15th added to my log, but there's a gap of several days before that.
Seems like there's been a blip somewhere along the line.

Rik · Sep 15, 2009, 19:28:07

It's in your favour atm.

JohnH · Sep 15, 2009, 19:32:19

Rik · Sep 15, 2009, 19:50:52

So's mine.
