Phone bundles

Hi, I want to switch from BT standard broadband to plusnet fibre broadband. However,. I can't find info on phone bundles with plusnet.

At the moment I pay £3 mth for "free" evenings and weekends with BT as I just have a payg mobile.
I have read all the info on plusnet deals but can't find phone deals. Would this only come up when applying?
I am interested in what the deal would be with "all inclusive" phone calls.

Could someone point me in the right direction to find the info?

    You are given a monthly price for broadband and line, which is £2.50/month cheaper if you pay in advance (but only in blocks of 12 months). They do charge 99p for caller display and like this ,call packages are an add on.


    I have the Anytime UK package at £8/month that covers calls to 01,02 and 03 numbers and calls to mobiles.

    I had BT and switched my pay monthly mobile to them, for £4 a month they gave me unlimited minutes at any time from my mobile. So I never needed to use the land line. Although I did have to haggle for that up front.

    With the cheap deals you can get on pay monthly, I couldn't go back to PAYG. It was just so expensive.

    Could you tell me if it covers mobile calls to ALL NETWORKS or just PlusNet?
    Also, does that apply to the Evening and Weekend Bundles as well?
    Thanks

    All mobiles in the UK. I think it applies to all packages.


    When with BT, we had a evening an weekend package,but in the year before we left they altered the hours during which the calls were 'free' so they kicked in when it was too late to make free business calls (eg to make vet appointment),Sky had discontinued e&w so we had anytime with them and kept this on joining PlusNet who do offer that package.


    This suits us as I'm home all day so don't have to think about daytime call costs,just a few of which make anytime worth having,because of pricing. Another benefit is that my husband likes to check on me everyday, but saves mobile usage by ringing me and then being called back ,free of charge.
