FAQs
What CallerID will the other party see?
The same as if you hadn't used the prefix

Must my line be provided by BT?
Not necessarily.
Other providers with honest tariffing do permit the use of our prefix. Eg. PlusNet, ICUKNet, and others (let us know if we can add your provider to the list).

You Betcha!
