Phone question
 
Perhaps a stupid question but we've never used NTL before and are being connected on thursday but... can we use a regular phone that we used to use with BT?

Yep

No reason why not-are you expecting any features that you had with BT (I.E. Caller I.D etc)?

The phone should be fine - features that you may or may not have access to such as CLID may change though. What area are you in and what type of phone do you have?

Did you have caller id activated with BT, and do you still want it with ntl?

Re: Phone question
 
yes we did have it. I'm not sure but i think when we chose the options online there was an option for CLID? if so then we selected it!

been a while since we made our choices, first connection date went down the pan when they realised that ntl had never been installed at the property despite their systems saying it had!

If you pm me your full postcode, I'll check the availability for you. One of the mods should be able to vouch for me. :)

You won't get caller display unless you're in the North East.
Leeds or beyond only.

Re: Phone question

pm sent to OB - thank you

Thorn, I'm not sure where you get your info from, but it's crap.

_simon_, CLID is available in your area. :)
