Well if you're currently being charged for Caller Display, you'd achieve
getting this for free. So it's definitely worth checking your bill.

NB: The "TPS registration" part of BT Privacy is optional. And the third
part of BT Privacy is a nice set of "go away salespeople" stickers for
your front door.

What I really need are some "go away Jehovah's witnesses I'm not in the 
mood for a religious debate and I'll probably put your leaflets through 
the shredder without even reading them" stickers.

BT told me that TPS was compulsory and I never got any stickers.

Was this over the phone? That was a flat lie if so.

The website was very clear when I did it online. Box to tick if I wanted
TPS registration, or untick if not.

>and I never got any stickers.
>Waaaaaaa! <Stamps foot> ;-)

You should ask for them! :-) I think it was online again with a tickbox,
but it was a few years ago now.
