BT home phone, change name and loose current deal - thoughts on my example?

p1tse

so the bill is under my sisters name and so wanted to get it changed to myself

BUT
1) I get signed up to a new 12 month contract
2) I loose the current Discount for Evening and Mobile call deal 12 month renewing contract (which equates to loose credit of £4.50/month for evening calls and friends& family mobile deal)

now not sure if i should cancel what i have setup as have until the 4th May.

Current: per quarter
Unlimited Evening and Weekend plan £36.30 (made up of £49.80 - less the £13.50 in point 2 above) + friends& family £4.50 + £5.40 processing payment = £46.20

vs

New signed up: per quater
Basic £13.60x3 = £40.80 + i assume same processing fee £5.40 = £46.20

which means I loose all benefits of free unlimited evening, weekend and friends and family.

Thoughts?

How about paying by quarterly direct debit and saving £5.40. Maybe not. How about using a service like 18185 to make local/national calls for 5p and call your friends and family's numbers for less than what BT charges.

to be honest we have mobiles we can use, but home reception isn't as good. we don't use the phone that much too ring, but on the new obviously there is additional cost compared now which is zero for land lines

so I was told i had upto the 4th May to decide and could cancel my order

they lied!

i went to cancel to explain all i wanted was change names, and this called the lady managed to cancel my order and change the name on the bill!

obviously the first person was trying to up their sales volume.... GRRR
