Please Note - the old copper wire telephone and broadband network is being phased out and replaced with Full Fibre. The Call Features listed below are ONLY available on traditional wired networks, NOT on Full Fibre.
If you live in a property where it is still available, you can get our Unlimited Fibre (FTTC) and Basic Broadband (ADSL) or Phone-Only packages with the Calling Features shown here. Otherwise you will only be offered Full Fibre package options.

Combined with our FREE Caller Display, it will allow you to see the number calling you before you answer the call. Anonymous Call Rejection will not bar inbound calls where the callers number cannot be revealed, this is particularly useful because sometimes an inbound international call may not be able to reveal the number of the person calling you. |
