I guess I should really have said TalkTalk LLU - i.e. they've completely taken
over the line, unlike Plusnet (IIRC) where your line is probably still
connected to BT's hardware at the exchange.

I am in contact with TalkTalk about it, who are looking into it - it's not a
line issue, since they've done a line test. I figured that if I knew
somebody else had no problems with the Solo on TalkTalk LLU, that'd give me a
bit more ammunition to tell them it must be a fault on their equipment and
not the Solo :). Apparently, TalkTalk's Caller ID system is supposed to be
identical to BT's, but there are some minor differences (not just the problem
that I'm having).

It's a strange problem because it works about 50% of the time on average with
the Solo, and 90% of the time on a BT Freestyle handset. Probably everybody
here knows the tell-tale "click...click" that the Solo makes directly before
the phone starts to ring, and before it starts to announce the phone number.
With my BT line, this was always a fixed "click...click", but with TT
sometimes it doesn't click at all and as a result picks up no Caller ID at
all (yet, the BT Freestyle does still display the Caller ID most of the time
when this happens).
