All you pay is £79.99 for unlimited local & national calls via your existing BB connection, so if you pay £24.99 (for example) to ntl for BB & another £11 per month for their phone 'service', then you can ditch the phone & just pay the equivalent of £6.66 per month for a line with the following features:

So it doesn't say you
must have an alternative
landline, all it says is that you must make alternative arrangements (most peeps have mobiles & neighbours in terms of emergencies)
All in all Freetalk is an enourmous improvement over ntl's inferior phone 'service'.
