    Primus Saver Option 3 costs only £8.49 per month. See here:

    Have you considered 18866/1899/1815 for flat rate, untimed calls to UK numbers?

    You do not pay TT £12.99 for 'unlimited calls' at all. You pay £12.99 for calls to 01 and 02 numbers. 07, 08, 09 and 00 calls are extra.

    BTW, £12.99 would pay for 433 calls (at 3p each) to UK 01/02 number using 1899. Do you make that many calls each month, every month (even when you're away on holiday)?
    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.

    OK I understand. But bear in mind that as Heinz says, you could make 433 separate and untimed calls in a month to any UK number, with with 1899.com, for the same amount as you are spending per month with Talk Talk.

    Do you understand the concept of 1886/1815/1899.com?

    Ahah! You've met my wife! ;)

    That's why I changed us over to a free E&W 01/02 package and 1899 (3p connection and 0p per minute) for weekday daytime 01/02 calls.
