Moving phone providers
Hi I wondered if somebody could clear something up for me. I'm looking at moving my broadband and phone to Plusnet. My broadband is currently with Be and my phone is currently with BT. It should work out cheaper for both. However a friend has told me that if I move my phone to Plusnet and then want to move to another phone…

Cordless Phone Battery Toasted
I have had a set of BT Voyager cordless phones for a few years and recently the charge to the batteries will only last a short phone call, so being a money saver, rather than buying new phones, I bought a pack of rechargeable batteries and changed the batteries. I did this on Friday night and this morning my cordless phone…

Uniden DECT 6.0 Waterproof Cordless Phone
Great phone overall. It very similar to other Uniden phones I have had for 4 years. I bought this one for the shop, because sometimes it is left in the garden. My main criticism is that the ringer is not high enough so that when I have the machines in progress and not a headset. Uniden other phones I have and what to do.…

BT vs. Virgin Media phone line and burglar alarm
Hello, hope fellow Money Savers can help. We recently changed our phone line from BT to Virgin Media (along with broadband and cable TV). The BT line will be switched off shortly. Does anyone know what we need to do to make sure the burglar alarm will still work, as this was using the BT line for informing and nightly…

BT ultimatum - help us make a false report to Ofcom or we cancel your account!
A conversation with BT today has left me fuming. I decided about 10 days ago to transfer to SkyTalk to take advantage of a lower broadband rate (I am already a sky tv and broadband customer). On receiving the cancellation letter from BT I realised that the cancellation charge would outweigh any savings made from the…

Impending Internet Charge
I have just been reading an artical about the proposed internet charge if Labour get re elected and it is payable even if you have no internet connected and is payable on each availability of a connection. Surely this would be unfair. For example we have our line supplied by BT but there is an old Telewest connection…

HELP! Phone call from Eze-Talk.....are they going to switch me from BT?
I've just had a phone call from a company who I am SURE said they were BT to start with, letting me know that my monthly charges will be going down to £12.50. The woman who phoned had a strong foreign accent and started giving me a run down of call charges etc. She then asked me to confirm my name and address and that some…

Disgusted with Sky Talk
A couple of months ago we stupidly moved our calls and line rental to Sky Talk. We didn't want to but it was down to typical Sky bullying tactics: if we didn't switch they would put our broadband up by £5 a month. We initally refused and were going to take our broadband to o2, but then Sky offered free line rental for 12…

Which provider is best?
I have been using Virgin Media for 3 years at my current address as no BT landline and they wanted a fortune to install one!! I have not been impressed with Virgin- services are fine, Cust Service pretty shocking (so surprised as Virgin Atlantic/ Virgin Active etc have always been pretty good??) Anyway we're moving in a…

Tv and broadband best option
Hi I am helping a friend who has just moved and they want a cheap BB deal and evenings and weekend calls. I called virgin who quoted 27.50 (with BB free for 2 months) however they want £79 to connect the phone line. I called BT who don't charge a connection fee but their monthly costs for the same deal are £47 !! nearly…

Paying for calls when phone not properly disconnected
Does anyone know if phone companies automatically disconnect phone lines when calls have been silent for extended periods? i.e. if you forget to disconnect the call yourself. We have recently had a problem with our BT bill. A local call was made at 8pm one evening for a few minutes but the phone was not put down properly…

Check your bt bills in full!
I have just gone through my BT bill call by call and in one month have discovered they have charged me for 6 calls that did not register any call time. Admittedly they have credited the value to my account, but they did try to say it was where I had called and not cut off before the other end picked up, but then it would…

Who do we go with?
We live in a rented flat and at the moment have no home phone and I am getting broadband through my mobile broadband dongle. My contract is up this month and we would like something more permanent for wireless internet. The chap in our local internet store said to go with BT as they are the best but I am not sure after…
