Does anyone know of the best bundle deal available for mobile phone service, home phone service and broadband internet?

• I'm looking for a mobile phone service of around 600 minutes per month and will be making phone calls to both landline and mobile phone numbers in both the north and south

• My wife will also require a mobile phone service again with around 600 minutes per month and like me will also be calling landline and mobile phone numbers in both the north and south

• We will require a home phone service for making both landline and mobile phone calls to numbers in both the north and south and also to Canada. Will only be calling landline numbers in Canada.

• Our broadband service should be "reasonably fast" but most important very reliable with no service issues

I'm trying to determine which of BT vs Orange vs Virgin vs O2 vs Three vs T-Mobile vs Vodafone is the cheapest but its almost impossible to figure everything out mostly because they don't list the cost of making calls from the north to both landline and mobile phone numbers in the south.

As an alternative has anyone registered with a mobile phone company in the south to save money with making calls throughout the 32 counties?

Is this for a business or leisure? I know that Orange and Vodafone do special deals for NI businesses to call the South but I don't think they give this information out online.

Assuming you're a tv customer already or are willing to join, Sky for your home phone & broadband & for an extra £5/month you'll get free day, eves, wkend landline calls to north & south & 38 other countries worldwide. This will cost you £5 a month in total
Mobile calls if done through Voda business will be £30/month per contract or go for a bundle pack with reduced 2nd handset & until the end of the month you'll get double minutes (ie. 1st handset on 500mins a month would qualify for 1000mins on a shared tarrif) then for another £5/month per handset add on the Europe package giving you half price calls to Europe (ROI obviously) bring down call costs to 6p/min to make & free to recieve in ROI only.

Total monthly spend £5 sky talk (free broadband) & approx £60 mobile = £65
