BT or Talktalk?
I've been with BT for 8 years now and have had no problems with them whatsoever but I pay about £49 per month via DD and would like to cut this down.

Advice needed please
I have read Heinz's very comprehensive review of home phones and I am very impressed. However, I still need to ask particularly about our position.

Tiscali who provide me broadband and to whom I already pay my phone calls to have said that for £19.99 a month (which is less than I'm paying now) they will include my line rental and all my phone calls plus broadband which is really tempting.

A landline phone that alerts when free call period expires?
A lot of telecom companies do a free 1st hour, but start charging if you continue the call beyond that. I know a lot of phones will time the duration of a call but is there any phone on the market that will actually alert you (audible beep?) so you can hang up and redial before incurring charges? It is for my elderly…
