It is still a chargeable option. I couldn't order it until my line was installed but once done I could pay an extra £2/month (or something like that) for the service, or I could pay £4.50 for unlimited extra services (enhanced voicemail, ringback, etc). (The prices may well be wrong.) Which is another thing that annoys me: unlike BT, ringback is only available if you pay a monthly fee, not just a per-use fee. I used to use it perhaps once every month or two. >> What I'm being told is that we have an old Bell Cablemedia exchange >> without the functionality and which they have no plans to upgrade.

Obviously it was disconnected briefly as it was transferred from the BT socket to the Virgin one, but not for very long. I'll give it 30 mins or so tonight if I remember. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) @ 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
