New Phone Line Options

JimmyBubbles

Hi All,

I am about to move house and am looking at using Primus to provide my phone line. All I realy want to pay them for is the line activation and rental. Their cheapest package is around £7.00. My question is can I then use a call / internet package from another provider? Primus are vague on this and keep telling me about their great packages.

Greatful for any advice.

Regards

Certainly, you won't be able to use another calls provider (only BT has to allow CPS calls providers on its lines and, surprise surprise, only BT does).

It follows that Primus will not allow other ISPs to be carried on its lines either.

However, at the moment, use of the likes of 1899, 18185 and 18866 - for which Martin received an "until the end of the year" guarantee some time ago (before the takeover by New Call Telecom) - may still be possible for calls. When/if that guarantee will end is anyone's guess.

Thanks for that - much appreciated.

Will re think plans - I'm currently with AOL who are making me a relatively good offer to stay with them but they cant activate / install a line at the new address.
