Heinz seems to be under the impression that you don't need to make charged calls to get free caller display.

That's not my experience and not what he has said in the past.

I'd like to see a link to me saying such a thing because I don't believe I ever have.
...
I have never been charged by BT for Caller Display.
Actually, you've said it on more than one occasion. I remembered because a couple of months ago I was researching just this.

Try this where you say:

"I only have to make 6 chargeable calls per quarter (to qualify for 'free' Caller Display) so I have my local Indian takeaways' number programmed into one of my DECT handsets with a 1280 prefix. That means I easily make the required number of calls without even having to think!"

I stand corrected. I clearly did say that.

However, the example you quote was in March 2008 (nearly 2½ years ago) - before I knew about the 'chargeable or inclusive' rule.

Well, yes, but you simply stated that I understood incorrectly when one of the reasons I understood incorrectly was because I took on board what you had written when researching the question.

That research simply backed up the idea that had originally formed when forgot to make any chargeable calls (although I had made plenty of inclusive ones) and BT added a charge for caller display to my bill.

BT should not have charged you if you had made enough inclusive calls.

Anyway, in 2008, BT's call set-up fee was 6p.

In a couple of months, it'll be 10.9p.

Keeping up to date with pricing is essential (don't get me on the subject of petrol prices - I used to buy petrol - in the UK - at less than the equivalent of 24p (4s 9d) per gallon!

LOL.

I didn't buy it myself but I can remember my father fuming at the price of petrol in France when we went on holiday. IIRC it was the equivalent of 3/6 a gallon (although obviously priced in franc/litre). I think that it was around 2/6 here, at the time.

It was around 50p a gallon when I started buying it and people laughed when it was suggested that it might eventually reach £1 a gallon.
