Hi Ray,

You can unlink your mobile from the mobile itself.  I believe you press 6
from the main menu.  I often link and unlink using the mobile.

All the best

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.
