Both use a box you put in series with your normal telephone line... no extra numbers to dial, etc... and you only pay for what you use after you used it.

My monthly bill used to around £4... the same calls will now cost around £2...
This only works with a BT line, it won't work on VM.

From their website Q & A:

Can anyone register?

Yes - so long as you have a BT telephone line. If you have call barring with BT or are on their Light User Scheme please ask BT to change your service to 'standard line rental' before you register with first:telecom (call BT on 150 to do this) or alternatively switch your line rental to us and just receive the one bill.
