BTInternet Anytime used to work on any line as long as you released a CLI.

Hemel Hempstead Jarvis released CLI but I didnt have my laptop with me to

My old anytime account is still active until 23rd May and I have 200 unused
hours so we could use that provided the hotel are only going to charge us
for the call setup when we get the chop every couple of hours.
