Service - and, Can
you circulate messages by phone?
when I asked them at BT about caller display they didn't
seem to know if it
was free or if there were hidden charges and how a blind
person could access
such a thing, think the RNIB do a talking caller display
don't they? can you
use that with it?

Hi,
Answer 1571 is a complete rip-off to me as it just makes more calls
terminate at answerphones - which BT rake in the money off on the
minimum call charges. They could have done it a lot better
- i.e, given
you a personalised greating, or at least given you the
basic callminder
option, but no that was extra too. If you didn't already
know, you can
get caller display for free now if you register for BT
privacy, though
like everything else that is hidden behind several
confusing web pages.
Andrew.

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.
