Always use landline for calls, only really use my moby for texts. Try to make use of the free weekend calls.

I went for H but it's probably less, though I don't really phone a lot at all, I only use my mobile if I need to contact osmeone while out. My mobile is Pay as you go though, I guess I'd use a contract phone more.

Very poor reception at home limits my options - If I had good reception I imagine I would use a mobile significantly more often.

I only have the landline because I have to for the broadband deal, and you find it harder getting credit without a fixed telephone number. Think I've used it 5 times in the last 2 months. Mind you, only spent £9 on mobile calls in the same period.

Either I deal with things more efficiently by email, or I'm just a Billy No Mates in denial.

I use my landline every day to contact my daughter. She has asthma so I call very quickly to see if she is OK. Any other people get relegated to weekends and evening calls. Mobile is used mainly for texting so that costs me about a tenner a month.

Only use the landline for 0845 calls as it's cheaper than the mobile! Everything else is included in my mobile contract so no need to use landline.

Coveredinbees!!!!

I call mobiles on my mobile as it's cheaper and landlines on the land line. I try to make calls after 7pm as I can talk for free on the land line

H for me.

Almost always use my landline for calls.

We have an anytime call option and if we are calling a mobile then I use my work mobile which has lots of minutes.

None of the options apply!

I use the landline only when it's free at the weekends otherwise I use Skype.

I almost never use the mobile to make calls as it's still way too expensive but I do use it for texts.

I use the landline when Im at home to call my mum and if I need to call 0870/0845, also I call my friend in Gloucester on it but for everything else I use my 1200 anytime minutes on my mobile.
