There is a way to avoid the charge for 12 months, although it does involve locking in to a new contract with BT for the duration. If you re-register for their Privacy At Home service you get caller display for free for the whole of 2014.

It does stink though, caller display doesn't represent any new investment in technology. They are making their customers pay for something that has been a standard feature ever since they retired their mechanical telephone exchanges and which doesn't cost them anything to supply.
