caller display free JL home phone ? website says yes and no

[link to this post]

on the phone faq https://www.johnlewisbroadband.com/faq/#linerental it says

What call features are included?

Our Home Phone services offer Voicemail Standard and 1471 free of charge and Caller Display. Optional call features can be added or amended at any time by visiting the Home Phone control panel.

so one would assume its free of charge as indicated above

But the link below says its an additional cost (scroll to bottom of page then click phone tab)

We also offer a range of call features such as caller display at an additional cost.

how very confusing so PN is this feature free or not?

Reading that it says to me that VM and 1471 are free of charge, and caller display is also offered (but not included with the other two as 'free of charge'). Perhaps not as clear as it could be, but it makes sense to me - more than happy to pass on suggestions for an edit to the text on that page though?

thank you, although it reads to me as free of charge, the heading clearly says what's included

surely if is not free it would be mentioned in the next sentence which begins with Optional call features .

also on the home phone price guide https://www.johnlewisbroadband.com/terms/price-guide... there is a dash next to caller id, so how much is this ?

Hi,

Caller display is free of charge. I can see the slight confusion with the wording of it.
I have flagged this up with the relevant team.

Surely, like BT, Caller ID must be part of the Privacy Package which is included in all Phone Plans. Otherwise you will not be able see who/what is calling to preserve your privacy.

In reply to a post by XRaySpeX:

On BT it is chargeable unless you satisfy this criterion - "Get these three calling features absolutely free with your calling plan when you make two calls a month".
