Do any of the MSE Broadband deals include a FREE Landline?

If not, which is the cheapest charge for a Landline, ideally with no per call charges?

    The answer will vary by address, so you'll have to search for yourself.

    Go to https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/compare-broadband-deals/
    Leave the 'Average speed' filter on the default minimum = '10Mb+ (Basic)', unless you require more.
    Change the 'Do you need a home phone?' filter to 'Need a phone line'
    Scroll down to the 'Inclusive calls' filter and choose 'Anytime'

    For my address the only results I see are from Pop Telecom, who I wouldn't touch with a barge-pole (see other threads), starting from £38.69/month.

    Thanks for your reply, I do not get any with any calls regardless.

    So I wonder if one can buy a Landline service without Broadband.

    Or whether one can port the number to a VOIP service and plug DECT phones into that.

    I used to have up to 5 VOIP lines coming into two base stations each with two handsets, the line rental was only £1 a month and no call charges, probably a tad more expensive these days.
