Since taking advice from this forum (thank you) I have been sailing along happily with my orchid dialler. Primus and 18185, and 18666 (I think thats the one) have been taking care of my calls and I just sat back and let it do its job.
Now I am having a re-think, I have been paying Virgin 17.99 per month for Broadband only. After doing some research I am very keen on switching to Plusnet taking their home phone / broadband package. At the moment, to add to the 17.99 I pay around £8 approx per month to 18185 and 18666 plus my line rental to BT which totals around £45 per month.
The deal with Plus Net will cost me £35 per month for the broadband with free evening and weekend calls, for the mobiles I will use my own phone as I have a lot of free minutes.
What I would like to know is - have I missed anything obvious out, or will this genuinely be a £10 a month saving.
Many thanks

Are you sure of that £45 figure?
£17.99 + £8 + £11.25 = £37.24, not £45.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.0 -
Sorry forgot to mention that it averages around £16.00 for the two - 18185 and 1866 per month.
