Still, it's all part of our government's plans provide more choice in our phone services.

Actually it was a European Directive that resulted in deregulation. The same is happening all over Europe.

No, not part of BT, but an Australian company.

No, BT won't tell you to use this service if you dial 100 and ask to reverse the charge, in fact on some phone boxes they have large adverts for using their own 100 reverse charge service.

The BT 100 Reverse charge service will work to cable lines as well as BT lines or services over BT lines.

0800 Reverse only works on BT lines or some lines over BT. It won't work to cable or VoIP lines.

You can send 0800 reverse an email telling them not to allow the service to be able to call your number.
