    I have a business line with Daisy Communications at £9.60 plus VAT for line rental.

    Used for a burglar alarm at a remote premises.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Nobody notice that the OP linked to a BUSINESS line account?

    Yes.
    It's £9.98pm for the first 3 months then £12.98 after (with some 'free' calls thrown in which you don't need).

    All plus VAT.

    Good point. I should've realized that prices tend not to be VAT-inclusive for business-only products.

    Yes i noticed from the outset the op clearly referred to a business line and
    I also discovered they didnt explain the offer in full.;)


    " For new customers we are offering the opportunity to try us out for 90 days during this period you will pay just £4.99 line rental, after the trial if you are happy to carry on you can choose between our standard line rental packages £7.99 pre-pay or £9.99 standard line rental.
    The £4.99 line rental offer is subject to taking our inclusive call package, which gives you inclusive calls 24/7 to UK landlines so that you don't have to worry about call costs. This call package is £4.99 so when combined with your line rental its a fixed price bill of just £9.98 for the first 3 months then just £12.98 if you choose our pre-pay line rental after that. This deal is based on a 3 month trial, if you are happy with the trial and choose to continue after this there is a minimum 9 month contract or 21 months if you have a new phone line installed free of charge by us."

    Its clearly a business contract and the various terms and conditions at 4 and 5 which could prove costly should be enough to put you off.
