Anyone confirm the rumour that BT Privacy at Home is about to become a £5 
PER MONTH charge for the 'Caller Display' part of the service?

Thanks

A propos Privacy at Home, I registered when moving house last year, got the 
caller display etc.  On trying to report a junk call last week (from 
Portsmouth Hospitals wanting support for foundation status - what a way to 
spend my money!) TPS told me I wasn't registered.  If i were a conspiracy 
theorist I'd say that was BT having its cake and eating it.

I had registered with TPS years ago, but recently I got calls from 
an insurance company. I followed the calls up with the company, who 
initially claimed that I must have a business relationship with one 
of the group companies. However, the guy then phoned me back to say 
that he had followed this up and that - he had checked - I was not 
registered on the TPS.

I contacted the TPS and they initially confirmed that I wasn't 
registered. They then said that I had been removed from the database 
last November. They were unable to give any reason for this.

Obviously, I've re-registered.

regards, Ian

If you are unsure whether you are already registered with the TPS, you
can dial the TPS registration line on 0845 070 0707 and select option
2. "

It's experiences like this that just serve to confirm that TPS really
has no taste for stopping nuisance calls.

Isn't it about time that they provided a geographic - or even freefone - 
number?

That would appear  to be for registration only -  option 2 is not 
offered (and if tried , doesn't work)

Great! The only calls I ever make to BT are to terminate services. 
Something odd about caller display. My Chinese recording interface 
happily displays the number of many of the 'unavailables' my BT Caller 
Display phone misses.

Select option 0 and then 2 and you get a human being.
