Standard Line Features

These features are included in IDNet Standard Line Rental and IDNet Business Premium Line Rental (existing features transferred in 'like for like' or activated on request).

Caller Display

Caller Display shows you the number of the person calling so you can decide whether to answer the call. To use you will need a compatible handset (nearly all current UK sold phones are compatible).

Call Waiting

With Call Waiting, a gentle beep alerts you that another call is coming in. You then have the option to end your original call and take the new call, swap between both calls, or continue with your current call.

Call Barring

Incoming Call Barring allows you to bar all incoming calls. Outgoing Call Barring on the line allows you to bar a range of outgoing calls based on the selection of a code.

Call Sign

Call Sign allows you to distinguish between incoming calls on the same line. You are provided with an Alternate Number to your existing Telephone Number and when this number is dialled the telephone connected to the line will ring with a different cadence to the normal ring tone. You can thus determine whom the call is for, or who the caller is, prior to answering it.

Choose To Refuse

Choose to Refuse enables you to choose who gets through helping you put a stop to nuisance or unwanted calls. You can block up to 10 numbers.

Anonymous Call Reject

Anonymous Call Reject blocks any caller that doesn't send their phone number via Caller Display.

Number Withhold

Your phone number will not be presented to anyone you call.

Premium Line Features

These features cost £3.00 each per month.

Smart Divert

Smart Divert enables you to have all calls diverted to another number - anywhere in the UK, most overseas destinations or a mobile phone. You can choose to - divert all calls, divert on no reply or divert when the line is busy. You will be provided with an access number and pin to enable you to use Smart Divert remotely.
The diverted leg of the call will be charged at your normal call rates and included in any call package that you may have.

Answerphone (1571)

Answerphone (1571) diverts incoming calls when there is no reply, or the called line is busy, to a voice bank. A greeting will instruct the caller to leave a message.

Bypass Number

A Bypass Number is a second phone number on your phone line which bypasses any diversions or blocks on the line.

Premium Rate Call Prices (084/087/09/118)

Information Services, Premium Numbers & Directory Enquiries

The service charge - this is the rest of the call charge. The organisation you’re calling decides the service charge, and must communicate it. For example, if the service charge was 20p per minute, the organisation you’re calling might say "Calls cost 20p per minute, plus your phone company’s access charge".

The service charge for calls to 084 numbers is between 0p and 8.4p per minute.
The service charge for calls to 087 numbers is between 0p and 15.6p per minute.
The service charge for calls to 09 numbers can range from 1.2p to £4.32 per minute. You may be charged a one-off call cost ranging from 6p to £6.00.
The service charge for 118 numbers can vary widely and usually have a setup charge and then a per minute charge. 118 service charges are subject to a cap, which means 118 companies must not charge more than £4.38 per 90 seconds of a call. We strongly recommend using online directory enquiries services which are free.

By adding together the access charge and the service charge, you’ll know exactly what the call will cost you.

Customer Support Lines

Companies that you already have a contractual arrangement with are legally obliged to provide you with a standard rate (01,02,03) or freephone (0800,0808) number to call.

NHS

The NHS has banned the use of premium numbers for services and you should be provided with a standard rate (01,02,03) or freephone (0800,0808) number to call. The 111 (non medical emergency) and 119 numbers are free to call.
