Inclusive anytime calls package that includes UK mobiles

Hello all.

Does anyone know of any provider which includes UK mobiles in their inclusive calls package? My aunty is currently with Now Broadband which includes this for £8 a month but I can't find any other provider that does at this price.

Many thanks.

    Sky for starters but that said since NowTV does and that's what she has why are you looking for any one else? If she's out of contract and the price has/will go up call them. They're very easy to talk to and (in my experience) will always match their own new customer offers.

    Edit: Sky may charge slightly more.

    I'm going to give them a call to see if they'll bring the price back down to what she has been paying for the past 12 months. The next cheapest provider is Post Office and after my recent experiences with them I'd rather stay clear...

    I have the Sky anytime calls package which includes UK mobiles. It costs £10 per month.
  • The new BT 500 minute and unlimited call options now include mobiles (they didn't before)

    I have very recently moved to NOWTV fibre BB for £25 pm for 12month with anytime calls to UK landlines & mobiles - with an additional £90 cashback from Topcashback bringing it down to an equivalent of approx £19 pm.
    So I would tend to agree with the above that NOWTV should be open to offering you a reasonable all calls contract if you are out of contract or approaching the end of the contract. A non fibre contract would be even less.

    Almost all landline providers now have at least one call plan with inclusive calls to UK mobile numbers. BT was the last major provider to not have this, but in recent weeks has introduced some new call plans that do include calls to UK mobile numbers.

    What you will find is that many providers have made their published tariff guides far too complicated for most people to understand.

    These days, the standard arrangement should include calls to
    - UK geographic numbers starting 01 or 02
    - non-geographic numbers starting 03
    - personal numbers starting 070
    - UK mobile numbers starting 071 to 075 or 077 to 079.

    Geographic and mobile numbers allocated in CI or IoM are usually excluded from allowances.

    Numbers starting 080 or 116 are free-to-caller at all times.

    Numbers starting 084, 087, 09 or 118 are premium rate. Some providers may still have inclusive calls to 0845 and/or 0870 numbers but this is becoming ever more rare.

    Numbers starting 055, 056 or 076 can, for the most part, be ignored.
