So - eventually getting to the point after a long preamble - can anyone
suggest the best way of making calls from the flat without actually
being there?


What you want to do really needs some sort of computer system. The
cheapest way of doing it would be to use a Raspberry Pi costing around
£30 but you can get an awful lot of phone calls for £30. Will it save
you that much?



It's not phone calls it would be saving, it's charges for services such
as caller display - which are only free if you make enough qualifying
calls (which, themselves, can be free!)

I begrudge paying BT *anything* that I don't have to - even if it costs
me a bit more in other ways!
