Landline calls being charged after 60 minutes - are there any that don't?
Hello, I'm trying to find a landline phone contract for my father-in-law. He's 95 with failing eyesight, but still lives at home on his own. He's on an 'inclusive calls' package for his landline (doesn't use a mobile) but has been getting some hefty monthly bills, and we've realised this is due to him not ending calls…

Hi all I'm just awaiting delivery of a TLC 43C645K which is for my elderly monster in law. She isn't great with Tech and currently has a basic SKY Q package which I don't feel she needs (any channels she uses are on Freeview) so she is basically paying Sky just to use the recording facility which she sometimes struggles…

Occasional landline phone calls
My sister part owns a small holiday home which I often visit. It is in an area with no mobile signal, so she's kept the landline active. It isn't used enough to justify any of the inclusive calls packages, but per minute charges and connection fees make using it occasionally quite expensive. I used to be an expert on all…

Landline + VOIP + Broadband - Where do I start?
So many questions.... I currently have Fibre To The Box (not full fibre) which uses the landline. We only use the landline for incoming calls and internet.

Well, it’s finally happened today, our Sky TV contract is over. multi room & apps are no more, although because we still have the ‘Q’ equipment I’m hoping we can still watch, record & pause until the packaging arrives to return it?!
