    As far as it goes, your bill looks (approximately) correct. There is just one discrepancy – a 33 pence difference between the total you quoted at the top (£45.83) and the total you quoted at the bottom (£45.50).

    Your line rental charges are made up of three components, covering just over 6 months (1 Feb to 7 Aug):

    1/2 to 31/3: £23.01
    1/4 to 7/5: £15.32
    8/5 to 7/8: £37.50

    totalling £75.83

    and then you have got a refund of £34.50 for 1 Feb to 30 Apr (presumably paid on a previous bill).

    The payment charge is avoidable if you sign up for payment by DD. You can also save £1.25 per month if you opt for paper-less billing.

    With line rental from BT, you have a completely open choice of call carriers, and it may well be that you can find a cheaper carrier for weekday and evening calls than AOL. Would you like to give some idea of your called destinations, how often and for how long?

    Best regards.


    Hi

    Thank you.;)

    I just rechecked my bill and at the top of the bill it states £43.83
    This is for:
    Rental : £41.33
    Payment charges : £4.50
    = £45.83

    Sorry that was my mistake the total bill was that of:
    £45.83.

    When I use my phone its normally in the same district to mum's mainly, she lives only 4 miles away.

    Other than that its free numbers.

    There can be days we don't even use the phone at all.

    I am in the account with BT alone for line rental and hubby AOL broadband for all calls unlimited, day night, in the week and weekends, think this is at £14.99 month, maybe less will have to check with him.
    The one and only "Dizzy Di" :D
