Cheapest Calls WITHOUT a BT Landline (NTL infact)

Hi folks

lots of reading in the past, but no posts, so heres my first.

I have a BT landline, but it is tied to my works business line (the company I work for pay for broadband on this line using a corporate account).

Our home land line is therefor the NTL line in the house. Short of paying for a second BT landline to take up great call offers, what is the cheapest (and easiet) way to say money on this NTL line. No matter what plan I use with NTL, the bill is rarely less than £25 for little use.

Thx in advance

    Calls on BT landlines are cheaper than on cable landlnes so I'd suggest you sign up for www.cal1899.co.uk ON THE BT LANDLINE - any calls made with the 1899 prefix will then be e-billed to you and will not affect the status or business use of the line.
    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.
