    If it's a BT line, the cheapest line rental is £10.75/month (online only billing, pay by DD).

    That leaves you £4.25 to £9.25 to spend on calls each month.

    If you only call UK 01/02 numbers, you can get them for 5p each (regardless of duration) weekdays and for nothing (for up to 90 minutes) evenings and weekends (1899 or 18185 and Primus Saver Option 2 CPS respectively).

    Alternatively, you might want to consider an 'inclusive' CPS package so you can make as many UK 01/02 calls as you like weekday daytimes without worrying about the cost.

    If you're a Sky TV subscriber, the Sky Talk Unlimited CPS package is one possibility - it offers unlimited* UK 01/02 calls and the same to 10 specified international locations for £5/month.

    There's also Euphony's euTalk+18 CPS package - offering unlimited* UK 01/02 calls and the same to 28 specified international locations for £5.99/month. There's a £4.99 discount for the first 6 months but you have to sign up to an 18 month contract.

    * Up to 60 minutes each (redial to avoid charges).
    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.
