Carrier pre selection (CPS) still uses the concept of access codes, but the access codes are implemented at the exchange rather than the customers’ premises.

As the call reaches the exchange, BT’s systems can identify the call, with the aid of the access code, and route it over the relevant operator’s network. These 8xxx codes are administered by Ofcom and are only available to a licensed CPS Operator. CPS is a more effective and efficient way of re-routing calls.

• Flexible, ultra-easy connection.
• With Calls & Lines, you use your existing analogue or ISDN line from BT to connect to the leading-edge THUS national network and benefit from our money-saving tariffs.

In the past it would have been necessary to have new dialler equipment installed, your PBX re-programmed or remember to dial a four-digit access code in front of every call you made, if you wanted to change from your existing supplier.

The introduction of carrier pre selection (CPS) in 2002 changed this. Now all you need to do is sign up to THUS Calls & Lines and your calls will be automatically re-routed over the THUS network, without any need for equipment change at your premises. This eradicates the threat of calls going over BT’s network in error owing to faults relating to hardware.

However, if you would rather access our network using your own equipment, we can offer you alternatives that enable you to benefit from our competitive call tariffs.
