Well, I dropped my account and moved to BT Home Highway but my mum is (was)
on the same service as me and she had to change the type of account that
she
was using to one which was registered to a particular phone number -
otherwise, from what I can gather from the information she was sent, she
would not be able to dial up on her "surftime" account after the
end of
March. I think on your "paying for" times you can dial in from
any number
but your "unlimited" or "free" time has to be from the
registered number.
