Help!!!! It's becoming a joke!!!

13 Mar 2006 £81.33 (£33 calls & £31 Line rental) - 36% of calls National Rate
12 Dec 2005 £64.14 (£25 calls & £29 Line rental) - 45% of call Mobile
13 Sep 2005 £73.05 (£29 calls & £29 Line rental) - 36% of calls to Mobiles

This excludes the £24 i pay a month for broadband!!!

Apparently we're option 1 with BT??! :confused: I'm not sure what I can do to improve this bill!!!!! Help!

    Read This by EdingburghLass and sign up for 1899, 18185 and Primus.
    You will then only pay 4p per call during the day on 1899 and free evenings and weekends on Primus. And 18185 for cheap calls to mobiles.
    Also you could get an Orchid dialer to make sure ALL you calls are routed correctly.

    The summary is under the 'HERE' link in my signature just under this text (there's now a link from there too with some recommendations for initial programming of an Orchid V4 if you go that far).
    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.

    I'm sure we could get the bill lower but the call chargers for this quarter were less then the line rental and VAT.. :( I was thinking about moving to NTL and getting everything (Broadband, Phone and Tele) for £33.. I pay £24 a month just for my broadband!!

    Thanks everyone for your input!
