When the GPO took over the NTC they inherited all their equipment.  The NT telephones were renamed as "Instruments, Subscriber, Wall/Table, N.T. No. X.  Many of these were made obsolescent relatively quickly, some were given a number in the GPO Rate Book and some were subsumed into the GPO Rate Book if an equivalent could be found.

In 1907 the NTC telephone line charges in Brighton were as follows:-
10 party Exchange line - 1d per day.
2 party Exchange line - £3 per annum with unlimited service.
Exclusive Exchange line - £3/10/0 per annum plus 1/2d per call.
Exclusive Exchange line - £5/0/0 per annum allowing 1800 free calls.
