had phone call from BT offering

misty_blue_2

received a phone call from BT today offering me free evening and weekend calls, free 1571 and caller ID if i have my phone calls with them,all for the same price as my line rental, i asked if i wou;ld be tied into a contract and the asnswe was yes a 12 months rolling contract ?
At the moment we have BT line with BT, but free evening and weekend calls and internet with virgin.
Anyone else had this offer and is it good ?

It's been on offer for ages now. It's nothing special.

It's the classic 'renewable 12 month contract' offering for which some have been complaining they have not received the promised, "Do you want to renew for another 12 months?" letter about 4 weeks before the anniversary.

OTOH, if you're not planning on moving, it's a pretty good offer.

And it is not a rolling contract, it is an autorenewing contract.

Correct. Very important distinction, actually. It would be called as dodgy as **** if a dubious start-up company did this. For the biggest telecoms company in the UK (and former State monopoly) to be getting involved in summat like this is, frankly, contemptuous. I' m amazed the regulator allows it, TBH.
