The customer should provide BT with a contact name(s) and telephone number which will be the customer's contact point throughout the response period to enable BT to advise on the progress being made to clear the fault. BT will provide advice by telephone including, where appropriate, tests and checks to be carried out by the customer and, where possible, carry out diagnostic checks from BT premises.

Expended consumable items will be replaced and a charge will be made for the new items. Where a customer requests BT to carry out work to remedy a fault on equipment or apparatus which BT is responsible for maintaining, but no such fault is found to exist, the customer will be charged for the visit (Section 15:Visit Charges).

The levels of service available are defined in paragraph 8 of the BT Telephony Service Terms.
