BT price Rise Again

Butterfly_Brain

Bloody BT have announced the second price rise this year so that is four rises in two years and they made 20% profit in the last quarter :mad: That's without the cheeky B's charging £4.50 to pay by cash :mad:
So it is time to look for a better deal and they can stick their service where the sun don't shine

No one with any sense pays BT for calls.

If you agree a 12 month contract you get free evening and weekend calls.

That leaves you with call between 7am and 7pm to pay for. For these, use Call 1899 who charge a flat fee of 5p for a UK landline call of any length. They are also a lot cheaper for calls to mobiles and abroad.

So a couple of daytime landline calls per weekday will cost you £9.24 with BT and £2.20 with Call 1899.

Obviously if you make more than ~4.3 daytime calls daily you would be better off with BT's 'anytime' package. I suspect that all these price increases are designed to prompt people to move to the 'anytime' packages

Why pay by cash - save yourself £4.50 and pay by DD or other means. That will then take the price rise right out of the equation and save you a quid or two a month too. :money:

Does the latest price rises affect the line rental costs for BT Basic?

We're on that annual line rental product so we paid £120 up front and jus pay for calls - which we don't make on the landline anyway.
