DECT Phone + CallerID + Telewest?
Discussion
After extensive googling I still cannot find an answer to this, so thought you lot might be able to...? 
I'm after a new phone as my current one (BT Diverse 3110) although almost perfect in every way, isn't supported by the (bellcore) telewest caller id system. I cannot believe the difficulty I'm having trying to meet my really simple requirements:
1. Caller id that works on Telewest
2. 100 name/number phone book (at least!). 10 numbers is pathetic!
3. answer phone (nice but not essential)
4. excellent build quality. I don't want it to feel like 2p was spent on its manufacturer.
5. good speech quality (obvious one really)
6. purchasable as a single - I only need one!
I've narrowed this down (after looking in almost all of the obvious high-street shops who are amazingly unhelpful) to the BT Lyric 2500, BUT I cannot find a straight answer as to if this works with Telewest's caller id. Anyone know?
If not, any alternatives (Philips 617 possibly?). No Panasonic's please.
Help REALLY appreciated!
