Caller Display will be free.

Line Rental Saver option saving £24 a year will be introduced.

New weekend only tariff to be introduced but cant see any cost of it mentioned.

Note that one of the "break even" points for the upgrade to the Anytime calls option is a minimum of 2 6-minute calls per week:

12p + (6 x 7.5p = 45p) = 57p x 8 = 456p > £4.50.

I cannot see the penalty rates for evening calls for weekend only subscribers.

Digging a bit deeper it turns out the Service will be provided by Talk Talk and Customer Services by Capita.

Given that TT block indirect access numbers its possible customers will know longer be able to use codes like 18185/1899.

Things are not going very well in the shift to Talk Talk.
