    25 mobile calls probaly benefit you to use www.18185.co.uk for those calls.

    Primus works for me, I make all my calls (excl 0870+0845) via mobile, pay £6.29 (line only) and the odd 0845/0870 (6p a minute), way cheaper than BT :)

    I be honest that is not such a good deal.

    keep an eye on your bill as they were charging me for billing and caller ID even tho I never asked for it, I cancelled and moved away.

    They did that to me but they have removed it now and credited back, why is it not a good deal? I was paying £15 a month to BT (before they increased their prices).

    Getting a refund is all well and good, but I signed up for a service but was charged for extra services I didn't ask for, yes I should have checked my statement but as my online billing took months to start but was still being charged paper billing when I was not getting a paper bill, it was only after 9 months I noticed the extra charges, they only refunded 6 months, I don't wish to give my money to a company that offer what seems on the face of it a cheap service to find out later it's at the expense of bad service and hidden charges.

    saying that, you can get a better service from elsewhere and for the same or less.

    And if you include TV or broadband it really starts to look expensive.

    Since when have they been cheaper then BT for 0845 calls ?

    Most you pay with BT is 2.04p a minute at peak rate plus connection,and all plans include some inclusive 0845/0870 calls.

    If you have inclusive minutes on your mobile .Consider using http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php for cheaper 0845/0870 calls.

    I didn't say that, I stated cheaper than BT overall for the way I use it, as to 185185, I did consider it but couldn't be bothered for not many calls and a saving of 3p a minute. I normally use saynoto0870 and find a freephone number, the only time I haven't been able to do this is for activating a credit card.
