in Phones & TV
hi,
i got my bt bill, im on option 1 and so the line rental should be 11quid ish. but my quarterly bill only came to £20.76 - how does that work?
also because i hardly ever use the phone is it right that if i were to switch to the light user scheme i wouldn't be able to call 0845/0870 numbers, someone told me that.
any help appreciated.
thanks

I am not sure why your line rental was that low as that £11 is monthly
You cannot use broadband if you change to the light user scheme.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

You will be able to ring 0845/0870 numbers, although you will lose out on the 5.5p/hour discount and the call charges will be standard rates.If saved £2710 and only spent the interest (Based on a return of 5%), you would have enough money to pay your TV Licence every year. Saving you £7452.50 over a period of 55 years, based on you buying a license from the age of 20 until your 75 at a cost of £135.50.0
