Your guess is as good as mine as to what 'some calls' means,
Bur prefixing any number with 1280 will ensure tat a call will go via BT and
not your CPS telco.
Here is another tip,
Turn on BT "Charge Advice" by dialling *#411#
This will have the effect of calling you back and advising you of the
duration and charge of all chargeable calls prefixed with 1280,
Also this will force them to be itemised on your BT bill.
Hope this helps.
