    Only BT does (is forced to do) cheap line rental for those on benefits like the discounted BT Basic.

    There are other companies doing cheaper line rental than BT's £13.90/month but I think you are likely to meet the stumbling block of wanting to move from Talk Talk LLU.

    Although it should not be the case, reports on this forum suggest it is almost impossible to change providers from Talk Talk LLU without first going back to BT on a 'return to donor' basis. That appears to be a free of charge return but will tie you into a 12 month contract for line rental (it comes with inclusive weekend 01/02/03/0845/0870 calls).

    The benefit though is that you would then be able to use www.18185.co.uk for your non-inclusive calls.
    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.
