Buy a VOIP/DECT phone. Sign up to a provider of your choice. Pick a nice number (same area code or another). Get caller ID for free, and massively cheaper calls. Job done.

I ordered caller display online after they said it wasn't available on the phone and then it was activated the next day

Just called 150 to order caller display but it seems it's not available here in Bromley. How did you manage to order it on-line? I've searched but not found anywhere to do that.

just tried to do it that way and the website got to the bit where it asks you for extra services on your phone line, i could only either tick anonomous caller or international calls, it gives you a list of additional services that maybe avalable but you need to phone 150 after services are completed.

Thats fine in principal but some of us are on bundles/retention deals, so if we cancel part of our package (assuming we are allowed to) our monthly price will increase!

Caller display is available in my area but it's a £20 set-up charge... Out of contract now though so might try to get it later this year as a retention deal

I am out of contract and on a retention deal too.

I hope you mean £2.00 set-up charge? - You can still go for it phone 150. What area are you in ?

[Kymmy]

Area 24... and yes I am correct it's £20 (someone will probably give the correct explanation soon but it's the same reason as to why I have 700Kb upload speed on 10Mb and 5 sticky IP addresses )

That cant be right. Phone um up and ask for it to be added. LOl ! Caller display is £2.00 PCM

[Kymmy]

For you yes, for me there's a £20 set up fee and then it's the £2 per month

You seem to be forgetting that VM do more than just residential services and although the business users user the same network/system the benefits and charging structure is different

What?! That's outrageous! All they do is flick a switch on at the exchange.
