Re: BT to use Ntl/Telewest for calls

Mmmm.... I received BT's little pamphlet with my phone bill this month and noticed a short reference to Broadband Voice. A little investigation on their website reveals it actualy to be VoIP - here and now!

The price seems to have dropped. The package with free evening and weekend calls is £6.50 per month and with free calls anytime is £14. There is a £1 reduction if you are on BT Broadband but (and this is the bit that suprised me) you can be with any broadband supplier. The adaptor is free but you have to sign up for 12 months.

It doesn't say so directly but this is sold as being suitable for a second phone line so, obviously, there are issues with reliabilty. And note that:

The only restrictions are that you can't call premium rate numbers, non-mobile personalised numbers (07), the operator, non BT directory enquiries, fax & dial-up Internet service providers, 15x short codes and emergency services.
