Getting my line taken over by Bulldog LLU

I've signed up for the £40 4mb ADSL LLU on Bulldog. I still have to
wait for them to cease pipex and put on Bulldog.
I've got a couple of questions though.

Bulldog will give me one bill for phone calls, line rental and ADSL.
1. Can I still use 1899, 18866 and the other ISVR companies operating
on the short codes? I wouldn't want to use the 0800 number.

2. Bulldog say Callsign isn't available, is this true?

3. Will I be losing any special BT features by going over to Bulldog?

4. When I dial 100 for the operator, do I go to C&W's operator
service?

tough. No CPS or indirect access, only 0800 access.

its their system, if they don't know ......
(its not listed as an add-on service)

all of them. There might be a Bulldog equivalent.

Not being funny or anything, but these are the sorts of things you should have
checked with Bulldog before signing up with them.

You got there first - why oh why do people sign up to things without
checking the most basic issues? No doubt a follow up post to uk.legal
in a few weeks on how to cancel the contract early.

Well I checked about Callsign. I had a look at the adslguide forums
and I've found out bulldog don't provide Caller Display! I hope 1471
will still work. I'll put up with it as it's 4mb ADSL for £30 a month,
line rental is bundled in for £10 so it's £40 a month for ADSL and
Voice. It's only a one month contract and I think bulldog have fixed
most issues about speed.

If its only a one month contract then its not a major problem, you can cancel if
the package is not right. But do yourself a favour a check beforehand next time
as you may find a supplier is missing a vital element you need and you could be
tied to a years contract. Not trying to sound offish or nasty, just that people
will and do get caught out by not checking things first.
