Please can I have some help.....

Hi,

Am looking into our home phones again and we are currently on BT Option 1. Our line is with BT.

I am so sure that we can cut these bills down a little but am baffled by all the deals !!

Our last quarterly bill was £90 which had a grand total of £27.50 worth of calls (£9 per month) and the rest are charges etc. Our average quarterly call charges are £30 (£10 per month).

I have been looking at trying to reduce this but have got so confused I would dearly love some guidance.

Over to you MSE'rs !!
Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.

    Keep your line rental with BT and follow this two step plan.

    1.Sign up for https://www.18185.co.uk for cheap peak geo,mobile,intl,and ngn calls.

    2 Use Primus Saver 2 for FREE Evening and weekend calls.
    http://www.planet-talk.co.uk/SaverProducts.aspx?source=saver

    This should cause a reduction in your call charges..

    Just using 18185 alone while waiting to transfer to Primus will save money.
