They should drop from April.

Spoke to someone at BT about this (Option 3 prices) and they confirmed this should be the case too - that they should drop to £5.95 per month from April and not when the contract ends even if you're mid-contract.

Hi Heinz, You consistently recommend that people keep their line rental with BT (I agree).
Do you see no problem then in signing up to the "free weekend plan" (former option 1) for a rolling 12 month contract in order to also get the free evening calls.

If you sign up to the rolling 12 month contract to get free evening calls too, you don't stay on Option 1, you change to the 'Evening & Weekend Calls Plan' (Option 2).

It's a possible alternative to Primus Saver Option 2 but there are drawbacks:

1. 12 month contract (obviously);
2. No Penny Mobile 2 twenty minute calls/diverts to mobiles for a fixed 20p;
3. Free calls limited to 60 minutes before re-dialling (the Primus limit is 90 minutes).

OTOH, it'd be one less bill so, if that is important to you ......

When trying to sign up to the BT Together Option 2 plan ,I can't see the 2 options to either sign up for the 'Rolling Option ' or the 12 month 'Renewable contract ' of which if I understand correctly only the former is free.

If you want to sign up for the free Evening and Weekend calls (Option 2) subject to the rolling (i.e. automatically renewable) 12 month contract, the link you want is https://www.freeevenings.bt.com/

Otherwise, you would pay £3.45 a month (£2.70/month from April 2008) for 'normal the option 2'

I don't like that link at all - dozens of people know my phone number and postcode so could change my BT plan without my knowledge.

Why isn't there a requirement to enter your BT A/C number too?

EDIT. 17:11 - Happily, it doesn't recognise my phone number/postcode!

There's a phone number too 0800 707 6028.

I hope they ask the account number if someone calls.

Sorry, we don’t recognise your details. Please check carefully and try again. If you’re an existing BT customer you can upgrade your calling plan by calling us on 0800 707 6028.

Never knew me either, maybe the system is not up and running.

Not that I wanted to signup, just testing it.

John Dough posted THIS on another forum. It appears to be the definitive version of what'll be happening on 1 April 2008.

It looks to us that those on the old Option 1 are getting a good deal by just opting for the rolling 12 month contract making them actually Option 2 for free. Where does this leave the present Option 2 customers who still have to pay the monthly fee for the same? Surely they would be better changing to Option 1 and still have the 12 month rolling contract and getting free evening & weekend calls but paying nothing extra for it.

We believe that those on the present Option 2 and Option 3, which we are on, are already on a rolling 12 month contract and have to wait until April for any reduction. Something a little unfair there.
