TalkTalk/Southern Electric TALK/BT

Graham.p_2

I'm on the TalkTalk Anytime tariff at £5.49 + £11.49 = £16.98 pm

BT have offered me a 12m contract at £4.95 + £11.25 = £16.20 pm &

yesterday a guy from Southern Electric (from whom I get both my gas and elec. called and tried to pursuade me to change on to their similar tariff for £11.50 + £5.49 = £16.99 per month (with an enducement of a voucher for £40 off my power bills after 3 months).

Not heard of Southern as a 'phone provider, so not sure what to do.

Seems OK and I can change to another supplier after the 3 months if I wish.

Comment? Guidance?

BT includes 'in plan' 0845 and 0870 calls. Do the others?

Southern Electric will not take your service over unless you have a BT Compatible Line, no good therefore if your on a Talk Talk unbundled exchange.

You must pay by dd, billing is quarterly.

0845/0870 calls are included subject to fair use policy.

Caller Display is £2.25 a month, where as its virtually free on BT subject to you making a couple of calls a month.

If you contact BT and ask for the Customer Options Team you should be able to get line rental down to £10.25p a month,24/7 inclusive 01/02/03/0845/0870calls for £4.95 a month. Plus £24 credit off your first or second bill.Subject to a renewable 12 month contract.

If you decide to go with Southern suggest you get the minimum term and £40 credit details in writing as you were given info by one of their infamous doorknockers.;)
