Just got mine installed and working. The final straw was a couple of
'auto' calls very early in the morning. Bit fiddly to set up, and was
rather p***ed off to have to pay BT almost 20 quid a year for caller
ID. Plus the 20 quid a year for the TruCall online facility.

All I now need to find out is if it triggers quickly enough to stop
the phone in the bedroom ringing.


Have you gone and bought the old "obsolete" free standing unit? That has
a web interface that's free for the first year but chargeable thereafter.

Yes.

I have to say, for the love of God why? The newer BT phones with
integrated Trucall software are vastly better than the old unit.

Don't really need any new phones. The ability to import my address book
via a web interface saved ages of time and frustration.

I've got an old freestanding unit going free for the cost of postage.
