My parents are on BT, and thinking of moving to VM, but enjoy the functionality of Caller ID on the BT line and would miss it.
In my experience of spending years phoning NTL to ask this very question, I don't think even VM staff know the answer to that. At one point I was told it was available and even ordered it, only to be told they had made an error and it wasn't. I gather from what I was told that if the area you are in was once owned by another cable company then it's unlikely that the exchanges will ever be upgraded to enable Caller ID as it's too expensive. It's about time they realised that there are many of us that want Caller ID and are willing to change back to BT to get it if they don't get their act together.
