From 1st August 2004, BT are introducing a "Charge Per Activation" if you use 1471 and then press "3" to automatically dial the last number called. -
Cost? 6p per go.

OUCH!
Is that ONLY going to be if you press 3? - we have an Olycom answerphone that automatically 1471's to add the caller's number to the end of the message, without paying to have CLI - must remember to turn that OFF if they'll charge for it anyway - or say goodbye to BT altogether!
PS. To dellwear
I believe you could ditch option one, and use Talk70 (carrier preselection) and 18866 (prefix) together, saving £2 on line rental - which is why BT would LOVE to force everyone onto option 1, and why they should NOT be allowed to indulge in such an anti-competitive practice.
