in Phones & TV
I am a light user of the home phone. I call the odd mini-cab and pizza delivery etc. My phone is BT stand-alone ie. not bundled with any TV/broadband package. I have a mobile phone (PAYG) which I hardly use. Would it not be worth my while cancelling the BT line altogether thereby saving on line-rental. I'm sure the savings would outweigh the few extra calls needed to be made by a mobile? I know it would need a "cost-analysis" to be 100% sure but has this thought crossed anyone else's mind?

How do you access the internet?Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Cancel BT phone line and you will have to have cable for internet access.
I guess he must be with Virgin Cable.0 -

Didn't think about that....I know most financial product providers (loans, mortgages, bank accounts) will look at you suspiciously if you don't have a home phone, thinking you're decidedly dodgy0 -
Wonder what they think about 0844 numbers?0
