How has you move away from UW energy went?

So far so good thanks! I'm changing over on the 30th October, so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly! I had a slight problem with EDF and my direct debit, but thats been resolved now. I'm happy with both UW and EDF so far, lets hope it continues!

If you actually like curry then dont bother as its not very nice (its "fruity" a bit like the curry sauce dip you get in McDonalds)

I've never had the McDonalds curry sauce either! Don't really like curry, I may have to try it though just to see what all the fuss is about!!

Hi can anyone give me some info regarding UW and the following:

my partner was telling me he had been told by a UW person that there was a system where you take a device with you where ever you went and plug it in so you could receive phone calls to an allocated number... ie you could have a number within your dial code, say 01249 and no matter where you are you can plug this in and people will still call your local number and get you and this is at no cost to you?

rings of to good to be true... does anyone know of such a thing?

thanks

This is taken from the Utility Warehouse web site:-

An Internet Phone Line is just like a normal phone line in every way, except that it works through a broadband connection.
There's no engineer visit involved, no software to install, no extra hassle - just a little adaptor that you plug into your broadband router, and you're away!
It costs just £2 per month per line. You can have two extra lines if you like (you must decide when you sign up - we can not add an extra line later). Connection costs a one-off £50 whether you choose one line or two. This is much cheaper than a standard phone line from BT!
You can plug the adaptor into any broadband connection, anywhere in the world, and it works exactly as if you were at home - including the number (no international codes needed) and the cost of the calls (Home Phone Tariff and "Free Global Calls" apply as if you were in the UK)!
Calls are charged on our Home Phone tariff - and you benefit from our "free global calls" in the usual way.


I am an independent distributor with Utility Warehouse and the views I express may not be shared by the company.

Not forgetting the £1.50 a month membership fee and the £1 a month penalty if you dont make any outgoing calls.

Just for clarification, when you say "just plug it in" that means plugged into a computer connected to broadband internet. You can't plug it into a phone line.

Have you looked at SKYPE?

Has anyone got an image or spec for this device, I thought it might be something you would plug into a router?
