I wanted to move my Phone line from BT to O2

I currently have a truly Unlimited ADSL package with O2 and dont particularly want to give it up. I'm also looking at cutting back a few costs, and I saw O2 Home Phone at £7.50/mth which is about £4-5 cheaper than what I'm paying BT now.
I rang them up but said under no circumstances did I want my broadband package transferred to the new deals. They said this was IMPOSSIBLE! Due to some incompatibility on their 'system'. So frankly if I want to move my phone line over from BT I have to relinquish my truly Unlimited ADSL package.
Fortunately I've read that the Primus line rental is only £6.79/mth and that works great with O2 Broadband. Looks like I've saved myself an extra 71p a month

And probably given yourself a whole lot of aggravation by all accounts.Fortunately I've read that the Primus line rental is only £6.79/mth and that works great with O2 Broadband. Looks like I've saved myself an extra 71p a monthTime 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.0 -

Thanks for the information Heinz. It would seem that paying my BT line rental up front would be the best option overall. I'd still make a fair saving over the year.
