Just received a call from a sales agent at primus changing my old package onto the Saver 2 - stops me spending the £2.99 for my older package.
After this he tried to sell me line rental which i wasnt interested in till I was told it was only a 6 month contract
bit better than their original 18 month offer eh!!!:D:D
No free month this time just a flat rate of £10.49 for 6 months which is renewed automatically if i dont cancel.
Was also told that the over-ride codes for cheaper daytime calls will still work even though it's not a BT line.
Waiting on Terms and conditions arriving after accepting their offer!!

IMHO its always best to read the T&C first before signing.
Saver 2 is free anyway, and you will save only 6p over 6 months compared to BT cheapest line rental. Plus if you have nearly free caller display now, Primus will start charging you it for it fully,which will wipe out the savings?0 -
i understand saver is free however i was paying 2.99 for the equivalent freetalk package
I think having everything all on one monthly bill is better as opposed to minimal savings0 -
I got a call where all my calls are being reduced from £8.49 to £5.99 a month.I refused to have my line rental switched over to them though:rolleyes:"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"

A wise move me thinks not to move line rental from BT.;)
But bearing in mind that Primus Saver 2 is free for evening and weekend calls and 18185 only charge 5p for a peak geographical call is it worth paying the extra £5.99p a month,as this would buy you nearly 27 peak calls a week,and you wouldnt have to pay if you were not using it. EG. Holidays.0 -
