Plusnet /Pay year upfront with call package?

Hello all,
Looking to move from Sky unlimited broadband with evening and weekend calls, to Plusnet. Having looked at their website, I see that they give a good discount, for an annual line rental payment in advance, but that does not include any "off peak" calls.

Does anyone know, with an extra fee, if I can combine the two?

Thanks in anticipation.

    It's not quite the same but I've just moved to Plusnet and have taken advantage of the discounted annual line rental payment in advance. I've also been able to add an anytime call package with 300 minutes a month to international numbers for an additional £7 a month.

    If you go to their website you can tailor your package etc to suit and get a final price before committing to switch / making any sort of commitment.

    Many thanks for your quick reply Debbie, i will have a closer look next time! My perfect package would be unlimited B/B, annual advance line rental, and limited UK calls.

    Thanks again.
  • I paid line rental upfront with Plusnet. I pay £1.50 or £3 a month (can't remember which) for free evening and weekend calls.

    Thanks Nessynoo, that's the sort of limited calls package that I want.

    Moneysaving Email, 11th December:


    Broadband + line rent equiv £14/mth PLUS £50 high street voucher. MSE Blagged. If you pay £132 upfront. Plusnet newbies only (if need new line, you pay £50). Here's how: a) Broadband: Via this Plusnet* link, £2.75/mth on a 12-mth contract (avail to 90% of UK). b) Line rental: Normally £14.50/mth, you can opt to pay £132 for a year upfront (excludes calls). c) £50 Love2Shop voucher: for Argos, Boots, etc (arrives after c.60 days). Cheap Broadband

    LRS is a separate deal for line rental, you can have whichever phone tariff you want with it. The base PN phone and broadband package includes weekend calls only, Anytime is £5.00 extra.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Pincher & macman thanks also for your helpful input.

    You have been thanked in the normal way, (No, the cheque is not in the post)!

    Dave.

    Hate to be pedantic but if you paid a fee they are not free evening and weekend calls but become inclusive calls...

    I have been with Plusnet for 2 years on the Essentials package (Phone & BB) and pay up front for line rental and I get free Evening and weekend calls,Maybe things have changed since then.
