Home Phone enquiry

[#1]

Have been looking into the PN offering for phone but have a few questions if I may:

• If I call someone (or are called by them) on plusnet home phone is it free anytime of the day/week regardless of the package either party is on (even just basic line rental) and any max call time before having to redial?


• How easy is it to deactivate 1571 as read on here recently that it comes enabled?
  
• Can I use cheap phone call services such as 1899 or 18866 with home phone?

Thanks

If you mean a Plusnet to Plusnet call then it is free anytime and on any package, but there's still the 60 minute call limit.

you just go to your phone panel in the member centre and remove that call feature (normally takes 24 hours to action)

Yes, carrier pre-select works with our service.

Thanks Joanne that fully answers my queries. 
Does a transfer take about 5 working days?

Hi The 10th,
It's 10 working days for the transfer.

Thanks Joanne. Order to transfer from BT now in

Just got HP activated but caller ID wasn't so have added via the control panel but will this be active on Monday due to the clause "...Your call feature(s) will be added to your account on the next working day...." - any chance of getting this today?
Did find 1571 wasn't active either which was good to see as some reported it was activated by default.
Out of interest I see the email states a discount will be applied as broadband and HP were active on different dates and wondered what this would be typically?
Thanks

May not be very much as it is just so that the billing dates match. You can more or less work it out

Hi The 10th,
Just a quick post to say that I've checked on your account and caller display is now active for you.

Thanks OldJim - was thinking it may be a pro-rata discount rather than a special deal.
Thanks Matt - did notice it was working very quickly after your update previously so thanks to you and the provisioning person
Funny how there are some things one cannot do without and Caller ID is one of them!
Don't think BT's COT were over-enamoured when I called to say I've left but wanted to check how the settlement is finalized. Never mind, hope PN experience is a good one for phone as BB has been very good.

Thanks The 10th, we hope the same
If there's anything at all we can do for you please let us know. Hope it all goes smoothly.

Matt - the transfer over was easy enough but sadly to say the experience trying to change from weekend/evening to anytime is anything but and starting to wonder if it was worth it.

Hi there,
I can see this is in hand with the complaints team, I've had a look but unfortunately there's nothing I can do to speed the process along. I'm very sorry this has happened, I hope you've managed to get a satisfactory result from the ticket - please let us know if everything's in hand for now or if there's any further action needed on our part.
