Override provider with auto-dial-prefix box?
We make alot of calls to landlines during weekdays and are currently paying Sky bills of £15-20 per month (plus line rental to BT). I'd like to ditch Sky and move to a cheap provider of weekday calls. The override provides (e.g. 18185) seem to offer the best rates, but we'll forget to dial the prefix, so does anyone know…

BT 1571 - to clarify WHEN to make chargeable calls
Apologies if this has already been discussed. (I have searched) I made a discovery today by calling BT to clarify the exact nature of the 2 chargeable calls I have to make every month in order not to incur a monthly £1.50 charge for their 1571 service. As I get my BT bill in the middle of a month ie 16th December, BT…

O2 Home Phone....worth it?
I'm just about to come to the end of my BT unlimited evening and weekend 12 month contract. If O2 can get setup in time I'm keen to look into their new home phone as I've already got an O2 mobile and O2 standard broadband (latter £7.50 per month). I notice that O2 are offering 2 options - one evening and weekend at £9.50…

BT privacy charge
Hi Just a heads up - I recently changed my calls back to BT as Talktalk had stopped me using 1280 to get the required free calls to get caller display for free. However BT applied a charge for caller display even though I made 6 calls (the required amount) in the quarter. On the bill it says 'you did not make the required…

Great 'Best Cold Caller Rebukes' Hunt
The phone rings, you pick it up and UGH, it's a cold calling telemarketer trying to flog you a new mobile, camera, subscription or even wipe your debts. Even if you put the phone down they'll try again. Of course signing up to the telephone preference service helps stop the legal callers (see stop junk calls guide), but…

BT Contract
I am with BT for TV, phone and BB, but I've been nothing but disappointed with their service. I only went with them because we moved house, and the BB is very limited where we moved to (otherwise I'd have stuck with O2). I was on the phone with them recently, and it turns out their contracts renew for 12 months…

Business Landline Comparison sites?
Hi all! I am a new company that is now looking to go ahead and set up a business landline for my premises. The line is already on BT but I know that I can save a small fortune in this rather overlooked costcutting exercise. I'm rather meticulous in the way I do things and I am just really wondering if there is a website…
