Cheapest home phone?

I also checked the VM website they wanted an extra 30.08 per month plus 49.95 installation for the phone line.

That is just the rack rate, so a call to CS will rapidly produce a much more competitive offer.

Ring Virgin and see what deal they can do, I pay £24.49 (although this will be going up to £28 with price increase in Feb) for 50mb broadband and phone line (weekend calls.)

Have you paid your line rental upfront for the year ?

Currently spending over 20 pounds a month for BT phone line at home which is used to dial out about 3 times a month and receive the usual junk calls.

Is there anyway you can get a home phone line which is just for incoming calls? Or whats the cheapest line? I don't want broadband as I have Virgin Media for that (and gosh their phone lines are very expensive!)

Thanks

falconNET Simplicity home phone - line rental is £9.50 a month with 50p extra for call barring, 50p extra for caller display.

It's just the regular BT Openreach wholesale line service, so changing over from a BT Consumer line will be seamless - no rewiring needed in the exchange, basically all that happens is you'll be billed by falconNET instead of BT.

Several other small ISPs (often with a business focus) also provide much the same basic line rental service, but falconNET is the cheapest I've come across.

Humm Thank you.

It's a shame their BB @ £12 and fibre @ £19 isn't so cheap!

That's because they don't artificially keep the price of their broadband down by raising the price of their line rental to cover the costs.

(BT Openreach charge providers around £7.50 a month for the wholesale line rental product, meanwhile BT Consumer charges customers £17.99 a month for line rental!)
