Hmmmm...
Probably best to go to BT for line rental (£30 install) and CPS calls to Primus Saver 2 and add on Penny Mobile, means you get evening and weekend calls for no extra cost over the £10.50 BT line rental (DD & Paperless) and calls to UK mobiles for 20p for up to 20 mins. Caller Display is free via BTPrivacy, though 2 calls per month (6 per quarter if quarterly billing) chargeable / inclusive must go via BT otherwise they charge £1.75/month for caller display. If your calls go via another provider like Primus, simply prefix the call with 1280 and the call will go via BT. You can also use Call 18185 for other cheaper calls too.

Would be nice for cable to sort their phone system out, would be nice if they used the BT standard of caller display in all areas and not just one or two and offer Caller ID on waiting call.
