Please consider this - Caller Display and Itemised Bill add Callers name feature

chrisparf — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 08:36:46 GMT

This is a suggestion that would enhance the customer experience for all Plusnet Customers.
Under Itemised bills the Caller display numbers are seen .... why cannot we click on the number and enter a name associated to that Caller Display number that the system then remembers and that name is then displayed for all future calls to/from this particular number?
This facillity/feature is available today for BT customers and it makes it a lot easier when looking at your Itemised Bill, as you see "names" instead of just numbers.
Thank you
Chris Parfitt

Hi Chris,
Yours is a suggestion I've seen (I think once) before.
Currently we don't have the required development resource (they are building more important things) available, but it's certainly something we can consider once we get around to revamping the member centre.

The lack of this 'Address Book' feature (and the lack of free caller display) was what stopped me moving my phone from BT for a long time. Now I've relented I still miss it.
Come on Plusnet! Worth a bit of effort, I assure you.
Chris

This is a feature that I also long for
However I was never offered the option to port the CallerID setting when PlusNet ported my number from my previous ISP
If I had known I would of requested it
Bad PlusNet tsk tsk tsk

When you place your order you are given the option to choose features - you may have missed it.
We *do not* do like for like transfers. We have encountered various CPS related issues which have resulted in some customers not being able to call certain numbers. So we stopped doing it.

No I did not miss it, I was offered features, but not to port the callerID over
The 1^st I heard that it is an option, was on a recent thread on here

???? "Porting CLID over" is not an option
Caller ID is a feature that needs to be ordered when your line is active with PN even if you had the feature with a previous provider

You need to choose the feature when placing your order.

I place the order over the phone & was never informed that the option / feature existed
Therefore how could I choose a feature (as you put it) when I did not know about it at the time ?
Come on it is not rocket science (or) is it for some ?
