Primus Saver Option 2 not available via USwitch

Hi, i just read Heinz's very helpful post about cutting your phone costs and remaining with BT for line rental. See here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=1598074&postcount=4

When I went to sign up to Primus on uswitch but the saver2 option wasn't available. An exclusive uswitch offer of Talk1 was offered instead, with a £1.49 month fee.

However the saver2 is available on the Primus website. You will need to call Primus and sign up i guess.

Regards

Swanny

Thanks again Heinz.

Martin pointed this out in his own thread in January ('twas an easy thread to search for because I remembered his use of the word 'fiddly' to describe the Uswitch offering).

If you want to get the Quidco cashback (IIRC, £16) for going via them to get to the Uswitch site, you may still consider it worthwhile.

OTOH, as the 'real' Primus Saver Option 2 was available via Uswitch last year, it might be worth waiting until next month to see whether it appears again.

Just called Primus and been advised the Saver2 product is still available but you need to phone 0800 036 0094 and order it.

Signed up to 18185 yesterday, using the service today.
Signed up to Primus this evening will be up and running in 14 days.
Thanks.

I just searched uswitch now and it is available.

When you put in your call profile, just say you only make local/national calls in evening and weekend, and then Primus Call Saver option 2 will appear.

do you have to sign up to a contract for Primus Call Saver option 2?

Thanks

Tried that but Primus Talk 1 is the only one that appears for me.

Thanks Heinz, I think I'll wait as it's only going to save me about a £1 per month anyway on eve/wk calls.
