Ringtones for landline phones
I've just bought a basic Panasonic digital landline phone and the ringtones are horrendous - a couple of shrill sounds that you can't hear upstairs and the rest are really stupid tunes. Is it possible to get other ringtones like you can with mobiles? I just want something that sounds like a housephone - I've got this on my…

BT's line rental reduction not what it seems
BT offer a reduction in your line rental if you sign up to a year's contract in advance (today's the last day), and MoneySavingExpert refer to it in their latest issue. What neither say is that if you choose this option you lose the discount on paperless billing. And guess what, they cancel each out! No saving there for…

Primus Saver rip-off
Following a suggestion from this website I moved from BT to Primus Saver earlier this year. I've regretted it ever since. Customer service is appalling. Now the final straw. This month, and without any warning at all, they have increased the charge for Caller Display from 56p per month to £2.13 per month (all plus VAT).…

0844 numbers..
The ability to use 0844 numbers trumps any other phone/broadband consideration (my wife phones home - abroad - a lot!). Is it just BT that has to allow these numbers, or do the other land line providers have to too? We're still with BT for phone, Be for broadband, but I'm looking for a better deal. I don't want to switch…

Which company is best for broadband and phone?
I'd have to pay a connection fee as line is completely disconnected. So which company is best? I don't want to get tricked (as Virgin Media tricked me) and I want to make sure I can pay by standing order (or by debit card though I wouldn't trust the company with my details - it is right that you don't need to give the…

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. Basically, when you take into account line rental, an unlimited call plan, caller ID, 0845 numbers etc. Who are the cheapest land line providers?

I am receiving conflicting information from various phone companies as to whether my phone is connected to the exchange. I’d appreciate some advice.

Anyone got V cheap Argos phone?
We were given an argos value range cordless phone, which is ok. Last week our phone & broadband went off after a storm. It's now been fixed but while it was off the phone seems to have died. It seems to have no power going into it. It seems a bit of a coincidence that it died at the same time the line was down, i'm…

Changing from Sky to O2
Hi guys - I want to move from Sky phone and broadband to O2 phone and broadband and am wondering if anyone has done this and can report how it went.
