Whoop, Whoop, Bye Bye BT!!

lythaby

Finally given up with BT, and a home phone all together.

We've had it a year in a new house and regularly only spent about £6 per 1/4, against rental of £36 per 1/4. I could have switched, but still wouldn't of used it more, and was offered the £9pm rate on cancelling, which was rubbish anyway.

So from the 1st of Oct, no more home phone, only mobiles, hello to another few quid per month!

............. which will be spent by F&F calling you.

BTW, how are you going to stay online?

Not forgetting many online websites insisting on a landline number.;)

Doesnt not having a landline number affect your credit score ?

Not necessarily: my parents text me when they want to talk and I ring them back on my mobile using the unlimited calls to landlines part of my package.

Which you pay extra for in your bundle.

I said goodbye to BT recently, I wish that I had done it ages ago.

I have a cheap PAYG mobile phone and mobile broadband.

I do not like using telephones anyway.

Fair point but actually it's still cheaper than running a landline! My entire mobile package is £12 a month for which I get 500 minutes, 100 texts plus unlimited calls to landlines. I probably average £15 a month in total when you factor in calls to 08 numbers or occasionally going over my text allowance. I got a reasonable new phone when I renegotiated this deal with my existing provider a year ago - at the time I wasn't able to find anything that came close on the market but I know things have changed.

Sounds like a great deal. Who is it with?

Yes, and it's also illegal under new laws and Experian's own police force will shoot you.

Don't be silly. I don't give my number to anyone unless it's absolutely necessary. Doesn't and hasn't affected me. If someone needs it then you can give them a contact number via a relative.

I'd never dump my phone line because it works great with ADSL. Mobile broadband is crap here (and most places).
