Hi,

Does the BT Charge advice service no longer exsist or is it broken? I
get EET after dialling *40# on my BT line.

Thanks

Ken.

Interesting.
Does *411# , #411# , and *#411# work?
if not check you haven't been slammed onto a WLR provider!

PS what's EET?

I have just tried the *411# and #411# and that worked

Equipment engaged tone, uses the same frequency as normal engaged tone 
but with an alternating long and short cadence, rather than a 50% duty 
ratio.

I think it is alternating level rather than cadence.

Working here by the way.

Seems it alternates duration *and* level, the shorter tone is also louder.

No, "The service requested is not avalible from this line".

Intresting you should say that as I've just transferred *back* to BT
from Tiscali LLU but I ring BT yesterday about Caller ID and the first
bloke I spoke to had to put me through to someone else and I heard him
explain to he's colleague that he could deal with it because he wasn't
"WLR3". So could I be on WLR even though im with BT?

>PS what's EET?

Equipment Engaged tone.

Ken.

Has it changed? It certainly used to be *40*<number>#

Yes, and as a result you can just about give up on any of BT's customer 
service people being able to do anything to your account.  They'll go 
"Oh, you're WLR3, I can't do that on my system - let me put you 
through..." and then transfer you to a completely random department. 
Rinse, repeat.

Depends on the type of switch you're on.

System X - *40* number #

System Y - *40# number
