Utility Warehouse anyone? (Telecom+)

reedi

Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with:

https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk

Im currently paying £24.99 a month for my NFL broadband and 30 odd quid a month for my homephone with BT, so I've been looking at the Utility Warehouse to merge the two plus maybe my gas and electric to see if I can save a few bob.

I would to the £30 a month for TV, phone and BB with NTL but I dont want their TV.

Thanks

Andy

A search shows there are a number of threads on Utility Warehouse. There's a fair bit of reading there.

Why is it you want to 'merge' these utilities? IMHO, that rarely results in the most economical solution.

oooppss...sorry....I tried the search but it came back empty?!..OK ta...Ill try again...

....just tried and oddly it says no results?....guess the search doesnt like Mac's

I've updated my earlier post to include a link to the search results I found.

Martin's 'opinion' of Utility Warehouse (also know as Telecom Plus) is included in THIS article.

In particular, that article includes his brief and to the point opinion of their home phones service:

Telecom Plus’s home phone service especially should be avoided as it is uncompetitive (see Cheapest Home Phones).

did you use capital letter when searching? As the search doesn't like capitals try again with lower case and it should work

At the present time i am with Homecall :mad: . My calls are CPS to them.Line rental with BT.I only make calls at weekends or evenings.

I have just spoken to a Telecom Plus sales lady who has tried to convince me to move my line rental to them.She claimed they have been voted the best landline and calls provider.She suggested i took their line rental at approx £10 a month,and their free Evening and Weekend Calls Package at £5 a month. Is this deal as good as she makes it out to be.Does anyone else use them.

She tried to sell me energy as well but her rates were not as good as the existing ones i have.

Telecom+ also comes under the name of Utility Warehouse and I will merge your thread with a recent one which gives some previous threads regarding Telecom+.

No!

They've been "voted the best landline and calls provider" have they? By whom? Their own (commission-earning) sales people?

'Free' evening and weekend calls for £5 per month!

Wow!

I wonder how many people are fooled by that (there are at least 2 CPS providers offering free evening and weekend UK 01/02 calls for NOTHING).
