    At least they allow you to use indirect access codes like 18866, unlike other suppliers.;)

    Heres the link to BT new line rental saver deal if anybodys interested.

    Where you pay 12 months in one advance debit or credit card payment of £113.88, equivalent to £9.49 per month and save over £24 per year.

    I wonder if you can still get the £36 credit offer and then switch to this.:D

    Why are BT still charging me £11.54 line rental (Unlimited Weekend Plan) this includes £1.50 Paper-free billing discount when there web site states from £9.49

    How can you get it to £9.49 I have no other facility with them

    Read my post no 14 above,and follow the link.

    Your need to place 2 calls a month via them.

    Note: Line Rental Saver payment is non-refundable so if you decide to move your line rental you lose your wonga.

    Clearly BT are trying to tie people in by this offer, because soon it will be cheaper to get out of contract if you have one.

    Their Customer Options Team will normally offer an existing customer £36 credit off their line rental to stay if you place your calls via them .( Unless its now stopped.) So you might as well do this rather then pay up front if its still available.

    I managed to get the Renewable Unlimited Anytime Plus plan last year ( Its no longer available) where i get a £1 a month extra off my line rental, plus they gave me £36 credit. Its up for renewable soon so i am going to see if their give me another £36 to stay.:D

    I find it absurd that BT manage to get away with such high prices given how much cheaper it is with Skype/VoIP

    Another reason to move to Sky TV

    Perhaps not .Sky has announced a £3 a month increase for those taking its TV/phone/broadband packages from September2010.
