There couldn't be a better time to join thousands of other businesses in your area and get connected to Diamond Cable, the first truly alternative telephone service. With state-of-the-art fibre optic technology, we'll connect you for much less than you're currently paying.
	Lower than BT on every call. It's true. And it's that simple. Every direct dialed phone call you can make costs less on Diamond Cable than the equivalent call on BT*. We guarantee it. In fact, you'll save at least 28% on all inland calls and as much as 25% on calls to other destinations. Which means huge savings all round. And because call charges are calculated by the second, you only pay for the exact time you use the phone.** Line rentals are lower too - only £7.99 a month including VAT. So you start saving even before you pick up the phone. What's more, we're constantly reviewing our prices to make sure that you always get the best value from Diamond Cable. * Comparisons are based on BT's base rates for direct-dialed called before discounts and special offers and are correct as at 1st July 1997. ** A minimum call charge of 3 pence + VAT applies.
	Our service is first class, too. You'll still be able to take advantage of all the usual operator services such as directory enquiries and 999 calls and retain your free entry in the phone book, unless you choose to be ex-directory. And to make everything easy, your bills arrive monthly and are fully itemised by number, destination, duration and cost, so you can keep everything under control. You don't need any special equipment, and installation is carried out by our experienced engineers with no mess and no fuss. So welcome the future of communications to your business.

	Diamond Cable's fibre optic network is the gateway to today's and future business services. Combining virtually limitless amounts of digital information - voice, text, video, graphics and data - fibre carries today's needs and is the foundation for the next phase of the communications revolution. But that's only part of the fibre advantage. Its in-built ability to deal efficiently with faults and immunity to atmospheric interference ensure an uninterrupted service. This high-performance network delivers faster dialling and clearer lines, plus a host of advanced telephone features, such as videoconferencing and voicemail. Larger organisations, operating out of two or more locations, can be linked, creating a private network using leased lines or a virtual private network using existing network capacity, improving communication between sites. Businesses that have traditionally used PABXs and keysystems to provide their telephone services can now move to Centrex, which gives the same functionality without the capital costs. And, with Diamond providing upgrades as technology advances, businesses won't be left with a system which becomes out of date as soon as it is installed.
	Diamond Cable doesn't just offer you great savings on your BT phone bill, there's a whole host of custom calling features to help you really make the most of your phone. Call Waiting - With a discreet beep on the line which only you can hear, call waiting alerts you to the fact that another caller is trying to contact you, and allows you to speak to the second caller without ending the first call. Call Barring -Using a personal number, it allows you to control the types of calls made from your phone and enables you to bar incoming calls when you don't want to be disturbed. Call Divert - Transfers calls from your home or office phone to almost any phone in the world, including a mobile. Reminder Calls - You can set your phone to ring out whenever you need a reminder or alarm call. Programme it for just a single reminder or for a whole series. Last Call Announce - FREE service that enables you to identify the number of the last person who called you by simply dialling 1471. Number Conceal - FREE service that prevents your number being identified by the person at the other end. Just dial 141 before the number you are calling. Three Way Calling - FREE service that allows you to speak to two callers at the same time. A private Three Way Call allows you to speak to each person separately, while an open Three Way Call lets you all join in the conversation. Diamond Cable customers receive these three great free services whether you subscribe to other custom calling features or not. For more information please see our Enquiry Form.
