Looking at their site today I noticed that they are only showing
Any Time and Weekend Plans.

Am I behind the game or is this something new?

    Thanks. I was thinking that I might need to do some number crunching before my 12 months on the E&W option is up. My usage costs lie in a sort of no man's land for what would be best were E &W discontinued.

    Perhaps not promoting it is to make it wither on the vine. As if they would.:D

    I signed up again for E&W a month or so ago without thinking when my contract expired. Without thinking because I was well pleased with myself with negotiating a hefty reduction on the broadband. Then I looked at the bill which landed shortly afterwards and thought "you'll be bloody daft not to change it to anytime". Which they let me do, surprisingly and for £5 a month I've knocked a substantial cash amount off my wifes talktime consumption. :D

    Yes, checking your (family's) pattern of use is the key. For many, BT's base plan, the (free) Unlimited Weekend Plan, together with occasional use of 18185 for weekday daytime and evening calls is most cost-effective but, if the latter exceeds 100 calls/month regularly, taking that £5 option becomes a no-brainer.
    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.

    Given the way BT has sometimes presented detailed usage in a superior way NOT, I have, I think managed to make an as accurate as possible analysis repriced to current tariffs. That's why I made no man's land comment.
