I don't know about England but in Germany the alternative operators didn't provide billing pulses. The company I worked for allowed people to make personal calls which they were then charged for. It worked OK for Deutsche Telekom buy if you used an alternative operator the call apparently cost nothing although the company still had to pay the true cost. As the company had no way of working out what the call had really cost the only solution was to block everything except Deutsche Telekom.
