Hi my parents are on BT low user scheme but now have had a letter forcing them on to the standard package:mad:. The best way forward as they dont make many calls is to go on tesco light or asda PAYG, but my mum is not too happy about mobile phones.
Rather than buying a doro easy type phone, I have noticed a device called XLINK wich appears to be for the american market.
It appears to work by pairing up your bluetooth to the adapter then plugging in your main landline phone. http://www.myxlink.com/index.aspx
There is also a Panasonic KX-TH1211B which is an adapter & cordless phone soldfor around £50inc p&p on ebay but again from america.
Would like any feed back if knows wether they can be used in UK
Thanks steve

I suppose you could look at it that the phone costs the same as about a year's line rental.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.0
