Some BT exchanges don't support Call Sign,Caller Display,BT CallMinder/Answer message notification and even ADSL.
Some Virgin Media franchises have more calling features than BT, in Yorkshire, they have warmline and I heard Call sign is available there.
Quick dial is also available nationally,something that BT has never offered.
Non-BT lines such as Virgin Media,Thus,Cable and Wireless,Verizon,Colt and Opal have a much better sound quality as well.
Call baring on Virgin phone lines is also much better, you have different levels on Virgin Media like this:
Level 1: bars 09 numbers which is free.
Level 2: bars 09 numbers and international numbers.
Level 3: bars 09 numbers,international,mobiles and paging numbers.
Level 4: bars 09 numbers,international,mobiles,pagers,national,0870 and 0871 numbers
Level 5: bars 09 numbers,international,mobiles,pagers,national,loca l,0844,0845,0870 and 0871 numbers.
BT Call baring:
Bars National calls even though they are now the same rate as local calls,Premium rate,mobiles and international numbers. Thats it just one level!
Call baring on Virgin media also blocks calls Cable and Wireless operator services via 100 and 155 to prevent onward call connection which means its preventing call baring from being overided.
