when did this happen? Because the last time I spoke to TypeTalk, despite
having these new suffix direct number thingies, they told me I'd still need
an account.
Interesting news. And I'm pretty sure that I've seen some emails floating
around about this actually.

Hi Damon
The BBC is on a PBX digital telephone corporate system. Dialing 1470 won't do any good.
Ok but they could still have system so that a number is presented!
Also ... various parts of the BBC subscribe to Typetalk, yes.
Small correction, nobody subscribes to Typetalk!
Few years ago one had to have an account with Typetalk to make a call via Typetalk, However, since BT set up "TextDirect" no accounts with Typetalk are now needed.
For a hearing person to call a deaf person (or call a Deafblind person
that
has the right set-up) you simply dial: 18002 before the full number.
If call is answered by a textphone, an operator will come on the line to
relay what you say by typing.
The call will be charred directly by your telephone service provider.
