My BT line rental contract is up on 03 July and I don't intend to stay with them as there costs have increased so much. I was paying £5 a month unlimited talk time but had some costs for mobile and calls abroad (which will be changing soon as family moving back to UK).

So, any recommendations?

Thanks!!

    Stay with BT, opt for the Line Rental Saver (will take your line rental down to £10/month) and open a www.18185.co.uk account online.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    As with most things, you get what you pay for.

    Sorry, what I was trying to do was to point you towards the results of a search in this forum for "Primus" - it shows very mixed viewpoints with some terrible CS issues being apparent.

    As some (but not all) are finding out with another well-known cheap provider, cheap is nice when things work but cheap is a nightmare when things go wrong.
