Seems to be working here in Belfast too!

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

No such thing - it's all NTL now...!

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

150 must be a Diamond Cable thing then that has just carried on, I'm pretty sure this has been the number ever since the year AD.

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

I'm sure I mentioned this as a possibilty in another thread...

Great news though and thanks for the info :)

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

That NTL had reverted to free CS/.Faults? The NTL Celtic franchises removed all 150 access and replaced it with 0800 - which still wouldn;t cost them anything unless it was a cross network call. As for TW in Central Scotland, the short codes similarly removed even before the rumoured merger/takeover.

Bottom line? At least the free number is active across the company as a whole, none of this nasty discrimination!

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Oh I didn't say it had happened, I thought the re-introduction of 150 was a possibility :)

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

NTL Telewest actually for the minute and they still operate as separate entities, again, for the minute

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Well its actually NTL:Telewest for the moment until the Virgin rebranding next year. However residential customers still see them as seperate companies, its only their advertising that tends to show both. Bills and stuff still show NTL or Telewest.

Its only NTL Business that is now branded as NTL:Telewest Business.

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Well I've just tried 151 but I only get BT's fault reporting system & that was thru' 1 of ntl's little 'smart dialler' boxes. Is there now an 0800 number you can use to report faults? I've been trying to access ntlworld since Sat. on 08089909877 but keep getting the engaged signal, I've managed 2 access the internet via the backup no. 08005190100 but I can't download emails with this no. Maybe Staines has finally lost it's dialup capability. :( Any ideas?

Cheers

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Sorry if it wasn't made clear - the dial codes refer only to NTL lines, NOT those provided by a third party (in your case, BT). Also the new codes are not for Internet or Broadband faults, those numbers are unchanged.

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Ntl are brining back 150 to call in:tu: and what we can see its going to be free:Yikes:

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

You know, I was thinking that to.
When I used to see posts about "no more 150/151" I'm always sure the last time I called ntl (from home) I used 150, and not too long ago.

Could just be me going :dozey: tho... thats why I never posted about it before!!!

Re: Phone NTL FREE.
 

Do we still use the 0845 numbers when dialling from a BT line or is there a 0800 equivalent?

I was just wondering about what to do if my phone line went down ;)
