Hi All, I have a 76 year old mum in law who lives in London and family all have mobiles, she also uses a mobile at a cost of £60 per month, on the BT free line rental would the free weekend/evening calls be across the table i.e. landlines and mobiles???, need to save the dear thing some penny's so she can buy food.

    Unfortunately it doesn't include mobiles. Her best option would be a sim only tariff such as 02 simplicity, where she will get 600 minutes to use on mobiles and can add either unlimited calls to landlines or 02 to 02 mobiles as a free bolt on.

    It is a 30 day contract, but if she doesn't mind comitting to a 12 month contract, she will get 800 minutes instead of 600.

    If she does use more minutes. I think there is a 1200 minute tarriff for under 30 a month. Just out of interest, what is the breakdown of her 60 pound bills?
    Try to imagine nothing ever existed...

    :confused: BT do not offer FREE line rental,and their inclusive (not free) minute call packages do not include calls to mobiles.

    Fork 86 suggestion is well worth considering.
