Do Plusnet dial tone(s) differ from other providers?

Quote from: Anotherone The simple answer is no. Plusnet's phone service, like that of many other providers is provided by BT Openreach.
Odd, as I've never heard the tone before with all the providers I have had over the years.

Quote from: spraxyt Even though you haven't requested voicemail, if you dial 1571 does it tell you a message is waiting?
No idea, I don't use the phone: only have it for broadband.
How much does 1571 cost?

The corded landline is the most secure access to emergency services in case of flood, power cut etc. I believe mobile phone towers arn't supported by UPS or generators. Also I regularly check the line (quiet line test) for interference which can impact your broadband.

For the price of a basic instrument, every home should have one for emergencies.
Good point about the quiet line test too.
