    No, if you were willing to agree to an 18 month contract and to making 10 or more chargeable of inclusive calls via BT each 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.
  • appreciate the link Heinz! One question though, the link you posted it says " Now extended to 30th September 2009" - doesnt that mean I've missed this offer?

    Also, and I apologise because I feel like I'm being stupid here, but what exactly would class as 10 chargable or inclusive calls? Does it just mean use your phone more than 10x a month each month?

    They haven't amended that notice but we know (and BT company representative has confirmed) it's been extended until at least 31-12-2009.

    The 10 calls requirement is easy to meet. Your line rental will include at least the Unlimited Weekend Plan (inclusive UK 01/02/03/0845/0870 calls of up to 60 minutes each at weekends) so making calls to F&F then is what most people do. Alternatively, you could just call one of the geographic speaking clock numbers* ten times at the weekend.

    * I favour 020 7043 1320 myself.

    Yes, you've got the idea - any 10 calls. Chargeable calls at weekend (or evening or daytime, depending on the chosen plan) will fulfil the conditions at no cost to you. Or, with a text enabled phone, 10 text messages at any time on two of the plans is a zero cost technique too.

  • Hi

    Many thanks for this thread :D. I used this offer yesterday and I though I update you guys. The price for the weekend/evening plan seems to have gone up to about 15.45

    That's without the £1.25 paper-free billing discount.
