Best option for just line rental (No calls needed)

blueacid

Hi All,

Just about to move into a new build, want to get the phone & internet sorted.

It's not a virgin area, before anyone considers the cable route.

I need to get a BT line installed, and will be going with Be* for broadband. I'll be using VoIP for calls, so I'm not going to want anything like caller ID, free calls, anything. Just a dial tone

Considering I won't be using the line & will have all the nifty features turned off, who would you recommend for a cheap rate? All I have noticed so far are Primus & the 12-month-upfront BT deal.

Has anyone any comments to make? Considering I won't be making any calls & won't have any fancy features (caller ID etc) turned on, I can't see Primus struggling too hard to master the billing on that one, or should I just hold tight and wait for the suffering to commence?

Cheers,
Blueacid

BT lets you use the "Heinz" program, search on the forum

Looks like that gets me savings on the calls I make & not the actual monthly rental for the phone line.

I'm going to be using VoIP and my mobile phone - don't need *any* landline calls whatsoever.

If you feel safe going with Primus thats the choice,hopefully you wont have any problems but why not get the line installed with BE* £85 install then £10 p/m
The cheapest option may not be the "best"

Sounds a promising move; especially since then if there should be any line / broadband issues it still falls on the same company to fix it.
