Tesco home phone.....any good?

altin_2

hi.
i was shoping today at my local tesco and a man approched me asking if i have a bt phone-line(which i have).
is a 3 months contract and i get 1000 tesco points:j :j (£40 in deals).
well i did sign it as i have 1 month to decide,and 1000 points are tempting.
do you think is a good offer(i'm happy with bt).
the other thing i'm worried is the calls made abroad and uk using the cheap numbers using uk& international callchecker.
will the change affect this calls?
thank you.

The loss-leader 1000 points aside, the question to answer really is how is what's on offer better than the combination of BT Together Option 1 (paid by DD and with the paper-free billing discount), Primus Saver Option 2 and 18185?

And then there's another issue to consider:

I guess the Tesco Salesperson failed to mention.

That the monthly line rental is dearer then BT. Tesco £11. BT(online) £10.50p.

That they charge £1.75 a month for caller display,where as its virtually free with BT subject to a couple of calls a month.

That their call packages are more expensive then BT and most other suppliers.

That they can block access to the likes of 1899/18185 etc if you move your line rental to them.

i pay £5(or £6 - not sure) a quarter for caller display with BT .

Another point if you agreed to move your line rental to Tesco and you want to cancel the deal,do it pronto!!! Otherwise if you move back to BT at a later date your have to sign a new one years contract.
