Telephone/dial up/bb

SPARKLYBLUE_2

Hi! can anyone out there help me? I have not long had a laptop and I am using dial up tiscali to use the internet, I don't use it a great deal just an hour or 2 in the evenings, I am paying option 1 to BT which is £20 month, however my internet on average is now bumping this up to around £40 which I can't really afford, is there any way I can have cheap phone calls and unlimited internet for around £25 or that asking too much, plus how do I go about changing things, have always been with BT, and get confused how much you pay to them even if you change provider, yes novice woman here, Help!

SPARKLYBLUE,
why not use broadband for your connection with
http://www.madasafish.co.uk/
or
http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/home.html?code=ZZ-NL-11XY

And pay BT only line rental on BT Option1. Then use http://www.call1899.co.uk/ for actually making daytime calls. See the other threads on who is currently best for free eveing/weekend calls.

You can get unlimited dialup internet (via a freephone number) for £13.99 or less from a number of companies (e.g. OneTel) but, for not a lot more, you can get basic broadband in most places now - even BT only charge £17.99/month for 2Mb/2Gb (which is more than adequate for most users).

Click the 'HERE' link in my signature below for some suggestions as to how those with BT residential landlines can save money on telephony.

BTW, BT Together Option 1 should be only £11/month - what else are you paying for?
