- BT Select Services
- formerly BT Network Services Information
- (nee 'Star services')
-
- Posted and Maintained by James Grinter <jrg@blodwen.demon.co.uk>
-
- 'Select Services' are available on BT's digital exchanges (System X and
- System Y) and are usually available on the payment of a quarterly rental,
- though some are available solely on the payment of a per usage charge. The
- charges shown below are correct as of BT's price list of 2nd September
- 1991, and I'm reliably informed that they're correct as of May 1995.
-
- [My thanks to Kevin Hopkins for combining all the lists of network
- services and reformatting them. It is split into two sections
- 1. Charges for services; 2. How-to guide to services. -- chris.]
-
- A summary of these features is given in the uk.telecom FAQ

- How-to guide to services:
-
- Here are the access codes. The codes work on both System X and System Y
- exchanges (aka Ericsson AXE 10) unless otherwise indicated.
-
- R indicates recall, the relevant button is usually marked R, recall
- or break. This is not the same as 'Flash', which is an equivalent
- to 'flashing' the hook - a practice used on the US systems amongst
- others. Some phones, however, treat flashing the hook as the same
- as hitting Recall - read your manual
- number is any standard telephone number.
- == codes marked as such are unconfirmed.
-
-
- Call Charge Advice-
- Next call only: *40*number# (System X)
- Next call only: *40*number (System Y)
- (or try *40#number)
- Current call only: R<Dialtone>*40# (used in the middle of a call)
- (belived System X only)
-
- Set up for all calls: *411#
- Check: *#411#
- Cancel: #411#
-
- The exchange calls back with time of call and cost after it ends.
-
- Reminder Call-
- Set up: *55*time#
- Check: *#55#
- Cancel: #55#
-
- Time must be given as four digit two four hour clock time.
-
- Reminder Programme (System X only)-
- Set up: *56*time*programme#
- Check: *#56#
- Cancel a programme: #56*time*programme#
- Cancel all programmes: #56#
-
- Time must be given as four digit two four clock time. An unlimited number

-
- Three Way Calling-
-
- After the first conversation between two parties has been established ask
- the other party to hold and then R<Dialtone> second number. After the second
- number answers the following access codes may be used
-
- Finish the current call & switch to other call: R<Dialtone>1
- Shuttle between two numbers: R<Dialtone>2
- (each will be a private conversation)
- Open a three way conversation: R<Dialtone>3
- Connect the calls together and disconnect you: R<Dialtone>4 ==
- Disconnect first call in a three way call: R<Dialtone>5
- Place original call back on hold: R<Dialtone>6 ==
- Disconnect second call in a three way call: R<Dialtone>7
- Place second call back on hold: R<Dialtone>8 ==
-
- **Note that** you can go back from three way conference to two way
- shuttle mode (despite what BT's documentation claims) but you must be very
- careful about which is the first and which is the second call. You pay at
- normal rate for each call; second leg is itemised. Call Waiting doesn't
- function during three way call. R<Dialtone> 6 does this.
-
- Call Diversion-
- All calls: *21*number# (dial tone changes)
- Check: *#21#
- Cancel: #21#
-
- Divert on busy: *67*number# (dial tone changes)
- Check: *#67#
- Cancel: #67#
-
- Divert on no reply: *61*number# (dial tone changes)
- Divert on no reply: *61*number*wait# == (Extra System Y facility)
- Check: *#61#
- Cancel: #61#
-
- Divert on busy or no reply: *66*number#
- (*#66# doesn't work.)
- Cancel: #66#
-
- You can have 'divert on busy' and 'divert on no reply' set on both
- at the same time to different numbers. The BT manual incorrectly claims
- that only one type can be active at any one time.
-
- Wait is two digit time in seconds (05 to 60) before redirection takes place.
-
- Incoming Call Barring-
- Set up: *261# (dial tone changes)
- Check: *#261#
- Cancel: #261# (System X)
- Cancel: #261*keyword# (System Y)
- (keyword is a 4 digit code assigned by BT)
-
- Outgoing Call Barring-
- Set up: *34N# N = barring level
- Check: *#34#
- Cancel: *34N*keyword# (keyword is a 4 digit code
- assigned by BT)
-
- It is permitted to have more than one call barring level set at any one
- time. The 34 changes to 35 for lines in PBX 'auxilliary' groups.
-
- Barring Bars ...
- Level
- 1 All calls except 999 and 151 repairs (and maybe 154).
- Clearing level 1 (#341#) will clear ALL outgoing call barring.
- 2 All calls except charge rates L and p1 i.e. all national
- and international but not Premium rate calls (System X only)
- 2 All call except charge rates L i.e. all national and
- international (System Y only)
- 3 All international calls
- 4 Operator connected calls and services except 999 and 151
- (and maybe 154, and 0500)
- 5 Network Services (except #34 codes)
- 6 Premium rate (p1) calls (System X only) - All calls
- 7 Premium rate (p1) calls (System X only) - Adult calls only
-
- On some exchanges, recorded messages say 'Call barring is in operation' for
- levels 6 & 7.
-
- 151 was universally used for repair service. 154 is now used for
- business repairs whilst 151 is for residential line repairs and
- reporting faults with TKs. [TKs?]
-
- Code Calling-
-
- [belived no longer available. I've had reports that it still
- works in some areas {*}]
-
- Store a number: *51*code*number#
- Check a code: *#51*code#
- Cancel: #51*code#
- Dial with a code: ** code
- Codes used are 3 to 29 on System X and 10 to 36 on System Y.
-
- Load last dialled number into memory:
- (gives message expected from *#51*0#)
- *52#
- Cancel: #52#
- Dial: *54#
-
- Repeat Last Call-
- To use: ** 0 (excluding code calling calls)
-
- Call Waiting-
- Set up: *43#
- Check: *#43#
- Cancel: #43#
-
- When a waiting call is blipped in your ear-piece:
-
- Reject waiting call: R<Dialtone>0
- Take waiting call: R<Dialtone>1 (after 1st call
- is finished)
- R<Dialtone>2 (hold the first call)
- Switch between calls: R<Dialtone>2
-
- Retry When Not Busy (System Y only, unconfirmed ==)-
- Set up: 5 (when busy tone is heard)
- Cancel: #37#
-
- Check Services In Operation-
- *#001# (System X only)
-
- Call Return is available on digital exchanges, by dialling 1471.
- Individual lines can be prevented from access to 1471.
-
- 1471 will report the last received call, giving messages in the form
-
- - "Telephone number <number> called <date> at <time>.
- To return the call, press 3. <dialtone> Please hang up."
-
- - "You were called <date> at <time>, the caller withheld their number."
-
- - "You were called <date> at <time>, we do not have the caller's
- number to return the call."
-
- Undocumented: *27# seems to operate like 1471. Also, you can dial
- 14713 (no pause) for call to be returned. *28# equivalent to 14713.
-
- Where not barred, 141 <number> will call the number, but withhold
- number of 'phone from which call is made.
-
- When allowed, and line has been set to withhold number on all calls,
- 1470 <number> will release calling number for the call being made to
- <number>.
