alternative to 1899 for cable customers?

is there one?

I now pay the 3p connection and 0.5p a minute on my calls which obviously makes a big difference to my bills [but is still cheaper than telewest]

do any of the other providers offer free calls to cable? after the connection charge obviously.......

thanks for your help

    I believe you can sign up for OneTel's LeisureUKTalk package (they send you a dialler) and get free evening and weekend calls to UK 01/02 numbers for 99p/month.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • No 1899 is the cheapest at peak rate.If you use 1899 at peak and ontel for evenings you want go far wrong.
  • Sorry to jump in on this thread. Is there anyway I can use two diallers? I ask this as I already have one for 1899 as wasn't thinking of changing but so many of you have suggest only using them for peak time and One tel for evenings.

    Thank you.
