Hi Ray

i have to agree with you, i think bt are rip off merchants. for example, their option 3 costs £25 per month. i rent my line from bt and make all my calls through talk talk and in total pay £18 for the rental and all my phone calls saving me £7 a month, a considerable difference i'd say.

Yes Karen, that's certainly right. I've never been a subscriber to BT Broadband. Also I've had 1571 for a few years now. You do not have to reveal your number of course to use it, just like any other BT network service. You only have to reveal your number when setting up the minked mobile text service.

What peeves me about this service, and I should have thought about it when doing it, is that there seems to be no way of turning it on and off from your phone. For that it looks as if you have to use the internet. Maybe switching mobile text linking on-off is reserved for the paid for 1471 service.

Just as a comment, well, yes Andrew, you don't pay for 1571 as such; its thrown in with the line rental. Given Bt's line rental rates these days, I'd say anything that increases the value for money of the rental fee has to be good. We can only hope that with competition Bt might begin to see things this way and start bundling more services into the line rental rather than these rather silly paid-for additions. After all, many of the things we pay for separately with BT are included in mobile line rentals. Just my 2p's worth there, smile.
