Best Phone Deal For Sky Customer

I have a Sky TV package and my phone and broadband are with BT. Would I be better off moving to Sky for my phone calls, leaving my rental with BT, or would Primus be better for my calls please? I am a low phone user (last quarter 55 daytime calls, 89 evening/weekend calls and 15 to mobiles).

Thanks
Mike

    If your evening calls are to UK 01/02 numbers and do not exceed 60 minutes, changing to Sky Talk Freetime CPS or Primus Saver Option 2 CPS would have saved you 89 x 5½p (£4.90) during that quarter.

    More important, in my view, is ensuring weekday daytime and mobile calls are made using 18185 (the former at 5p each, regardless of duration and the latter for 5p connection + 6p/minute [3p/minute at weekends]).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
