1471 should work on all phones. What you pay for via BT is caller
display and a list of the last 50 callers etc. That's usually in a
package with the service that lets you bounce your phone calls to
another number temporarily.

You don't have to pay BT for caller display. Just sign up with BT
Privacy at Home (free) and as long as you make just 2 calls a month,
caller display is free.

And the number of calls you can see depends on your own handset. The big
advantage of Caller Display is that you can see the number before you
answer - or not

1471 doesn't work if you have Virgin. It's a BT thing.
Once you decide to go elsewhere for your broadband plus phone service you
will lose it.

We are with Virgin and get 1471! Could it be a problem with the phone?

Dunno, she certainly cannot get 1471 since she went with Virgin. Maybe BT
have not noticed you've gone away yet.
afaik 1471 is exclusively a BT service.
I could be wrong.

Years ago I ditched BT and switched to NTL, later to become
Virginmedia. They are not perfect, but the telephone and broadband
are almost faultless,
its the customer services I don't like very much on the rare occasion
I have needed them over the last 13 years. I have never been charged
any money for anything other than the monthly, which is £41.26 for
TV, broadband(20mb) and telephone (calls to mobiles 250 mins/month)

Hope thats helpful

That's way above. My TV is free except for the license, and my cousin
pays for my broadband as a permanent birthday present. I'm
traditional. BT do my phone, I get my gas from British Gas etc. I
cannot be bothered about switching to get the best deals and then
switching back to find another. I would not dream of paying £41.26
month although I know Virgin Media provide a whole lot of more TV
channels. My aunt has it but she doesn't like not to have the 1471 to
find out who just called if she missed it.

1471 is not offered by Virgin. It's a BT service.

I'll tell her when she comes back from New Zealand where she is enjoying the
summer.
