Changing provider

I am with Virgin and have been for some time. I a looking at the BT offer. Virgin is £64.95 per month now. I am on the lowest TV do not have Freeview. Reason for reluctance to change is that I do get free calls for up to an hour all day. This is useful for me as I am elderly and use my phone to chat a lot.

Is there a cheaper deal out there for me as £64.95 is a bit much for a pensioner.

  • Anytime calls (which is what you have) are generally around £8 a month extra for different suppliers.

    When you say you do not have Freeview do you mean the TV isn't Freeview or you don't have an aerial? Freeview boxes are cheap enough and an aerial doesn't cost much to have fitted. Is there a satellite dish fitted.

    Do you need broadband (a lot of catch up TV uses it)? Do you need to record TV?
  • That sounds like a lot. Plusnet offer new customers unlimited use broadband, line rental and unlimited calls to local numbers + uk mobiles for £27 right now.

    I'm a recently recontracting customer and have line at £16.49 (paid upfront),broadband free,caller display fee (normally 99p) and anytime calls for £8.Total £24.99,but paying in advance for the line means just £8 to pay per month.
