Perhaps it's being included as standard for new installations. Appreciate this doesn't help existing customers a great deal, but something seems to have changed.

Re: Caller ID
I changed my phone last week to one that is able to display caller ID etc, after several attempts to contact them via 150 I was finally able to get through and get caller ID added to my package. I was informed that there would be a charge of £2.25 for this service.

Re: Caller ID
4 months till October, VM will have to comply with the Ofcom ruling to make Caller ID free. Are they waiting for the next price rise and claiming this is a 'give away' to compensate?

Re: Caller ID
VM have confirmed on the support forum that Caller ID will be made free this year. Be amazed if there isn't a price rise before then so you can take the word 'free' to mean whatever you want !

the link is in post #17.
I have contacted VM and they have reluctantly confirmed they'll be complying. However they don't have to make it free till October so guess they'll leave it till then or claim it's a 'freebie' at the time of the next price rise - I know their ways Wish they'd hurry up, I want to screen out Mother-in-law calls....

Mmm... A price rise just before they have to make Caller Display 'free'. Now there's a surprise !

Re: Caller ID
That is worse for people who don't want the service as it is now baked into the entire package so everyone has to pay. (Whether they need the service or not).
Individual line item'ing can go a long way.

Re: Caller ID
Does anybody know if this will be automatically added to accounts, even for people who don't currently have it as an add-on, or if people will need to opt in?

Re: Caller ID
I just contacted them and it's been added for free - but I'm still none the wiser as to whether or not it would have been added automatically come October. Was given a 24 hour window for it to activate but I've checked and it was working straight away.
