There are (just so as to perpetuate the smoke and mirrors pricing regime designed to confuse consumers and outrageously allowed by Ofcom) a few 0870 numbers to which a cheaper rate applies but, for most, BT charge BT Together Option 1 residential customers 7.51p/minute 6am to 6pm Monday to Friday, 3.75p/minute 6pm to 6am Monday to Friday and 1.5p/minute at weekends.
You can reduce the 7.51p/minute rate from a BT landline to 4p/minute by using www.18185.co.ukTime has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Their is no way you can cut the cost of calls to the 0871 6p to 10p numbering ranges. BT are the safest bet to call them from a landline.PF.0

i broke away from them last september, do not phone them as the person mentioned premium numbers you will run a bill up, i sent registered mail to them giving my intention to quit, and kept all receipts from post office and copies of letters, still they badgered me on the phone but within 1 month i had finished with them0

just an idea - but if you write AND cancel your direct debit, you can guarantee they'll be in touch very quickly!!!0

I found it easy to leave but only had my calls through them. I just asked BT to start routing my calls through them again and that was it.0

Beware !
I have seen recruitment adverts in local papers in West Yorkshire for salespeople to sell Homecall in Post Offices , it looks as though every visit to the PO is going to be marred by these idiots that jump on you the minute you walk through the door .
Their favourite days are pension days as its easier to bully an old lady or man .
If you have bother with them ask to speak to the PO Manager when you get to the counter and insist on them taking your complaint in writing there and then.
I did this last time they were in my local PO and a que formed behind me waiting for the PO Manager to register their complaints , he was well p****d off !

Seems a bit odd for them to be selling Homecall at Post Offices. I thought the Post Office had their own home phone service.0

Its me having a temporary lack of braincells, I could have sworn the Op was Home Phone , which of course is the PO phone service ! However the warning stands. Enter a PO in the near future and you will be harrased by get rich quick braindead muppets with no manners or scruples !
