Hi to save money I am currently considering getting rid of my landline and just using mobile phone to make and receive calls (basically as I hardly ever make or receive any anyway). I know I would need to keep the landline itself if I want to just keep BroadBand (for my desktop pc) active but wondered what would be the cheapest way of acheiving this and which companies offer such packages.

We currently have 'anytime' landline and calls from Tesco.
(separate bill) 'unlimited anytime' BroadBand from Tesco.
Mobile phones with Tesco SIM cards (£10 pay motnhly)

We also have Sky but as we cant get Cable in our area am happy to continue with it.

Can anyone help advise my options please?

Many thanks in advance.

    Can you get Sky LLU at your exchange?
    Enter your phone number on the Sky broadband site to find out, or do an exchange search on Samknows.

    If so Sky broadband Unlimited and Talk Freetime is £7.50 / month + £12.25 / month line rental.

    Its also possible to pay the annual line rental of £119.40 as a lump sum up front.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
