I did used to have the 1571 service and found it pretty poor, I used to get random messages from strangers on a different number, it is free so you cant expect much. I prefer my built in answerphone!!

Also I never realised the +vat on option 1, what is that all about?? So basically they are saying Option 1 is 3.5p per minute daytime?

I have had numerous flyers from BT asking me to come back, stating that option 1 is cheaper than ntl for daytime calls. Mmmmm

The only fault with ntl is the connection charges, but a 10 minute daytime call on ntl or BT Option 1 would be exactly the same.

BT Standard (£9.50) -- 7.9p x10 = 79p!! ahhh!
BT Option 1 (£11.50 ) -- 3.5p x 10 = 35p
ntl 3-2-1 (£9.50) -- 3 x 10 +5 = 35p

I think BT does some very misleading adverts!! I wont be going back either way, because theres not a chance im changing my TV as I refuse outright to ever ever let a Sky man near my house again!! Which brings me on to ntls other fault.......why include the phone?? Im sure the would have a lot more TV customers if the phone wasnt bundled!!

BT have re-vamped their BT option web page again here is the Link that better explains the BT Together options of 1, 2 3
