Anyone got any thought's on this?

Could this be the cheapest phone package on the market?

Unlimited local and national calls anywhere in the UK and the Republic of Ireland for the low price of £7.99 a month NO LINE RENTAL JUST USE YOUR BROADBAND CONNECTION :beer: :beer:

Assuming you have a standard BT line, so by using 1899 you could make aprox 266 calls for that amount per month !

look at at MSE "The solution in a Nutshell" paragraph - link below

Very Expensive 0870 and 0845 calls,and dear mobile calls.Highish Intl Rates.

You must have a broadband Ethernet Internet connection (standard USB modem is no good).

A cheaper supplier Euphony £7.25p a month is discussed by MSE in his article.

Then theirs these fees.

Line Activation Fee £9.99 Fax Line Activation Fee £5.99
Virtual Number Activation Fee £5.99 Softphone Activation Fee £5.99
Line Disconnection Fee £23.99 Fax Line Disconnection Fee £5.99
Virtual Number Disconnection Fee £5.99 Line Reactivation Fee £5.99
Telephone Number Change Fee £5.99

I think you guy's are missing the point there's NO LINE RENTAL, because you use your broadband Ethernet Internet connection :j :j

You don't need a seperate phone line, you just use your Broadband connection!!:T

I didn't find any hidden charges, but I was trying to find someone who's on this scheme so I could get feed back?

Sorry guy's I appear to be running before I can walk :rolleyes:

What I meant to say was you won't need to have a seperate line for your phone, thus saving the cost of line rental and call package.

Their neighbour’s unsecured wi-fi network? There are nearly eight million households with access to cable.

So if you have already got a landline,and you cant get BB from another source, you would be better off following MSE advice.:D

I have 2MB NTL cable broadband and no phone line. I am using https://www.voip.co.uk for phone calls. If you buy their adapter for £50 this includes 12 months on their UK package - free calls evening/weekends and 2p per call at peak times.

A geographic number (your choice of location) is included. I opted to buy their adapter - it comes pre-configured, just plug it in and start dialing.

Alternatively if you use your own voip adapter it costs £19.99 for the year or £1.99 a month.

I would have to make an awful lot of peak calls to make £7.99 a month worthwhile.
