Just set this up for my mum and you can use it on BT Basic! She was getting calls claiming to be from BT. But my mum will play the game! They clearly are not from BT. Had to set this up manually could not add it online.
Got to be worth a punt as it is for free! And good if you use BT Basic

I ordered this last time, then had a big row with BT as they treated this as a new contract, tying me in for another 12 months!

Agree with you 1000%.
I've signed up to them for 12 months though as they were really cheap. Will be switching away from them straight after though!
(Effective cost of £11 p/m for unlimited 52mb fibre with unlimited weekend calls) I'm hoping they don't make any profit from me at that price..
