our phone bills are quite high what should i go to..?

Deals_2

we are spending about £50/£72 in December (!) a month now on 18185. i think we tend to put most of our calls this way and we have BT as the company we subscribe to. so i am finding this quite costly. i dont think we are using 18185 the way described by Heinz moneysaver. i nearly find it too complex. i just want something relatively straightforward to use where i dont have to analyse whether it is really a mobile phone call or 0845 etc and chop and change. could anyone give me some advice ? thanks

Get an Orchid!

Call routing is totally transparent then.

Orchid is great, and on this site you can find out how to get a discount on it.

V2 (single carrier) £10.99 (£8.79 after MSE discount);
V4 (multiple carrier) £14.99 (£11.99 after MSE discount);
V4+ (multiple carrier + backup power source) £19.98 (£15.98 after MSE discount).

Most people find the standard V4 adequate for their needs.

My Bills before May last year were in the range of £50 - £70 a month now they hardly go over £20 total and thats 3 seperate bills, Primus about 50p if they are lucky, BT £11 - £12 and 18185 around £5 - £7.

And all I did was follow Heinz advice, OK at first the Orchid seems to be very complicated but with the help of Heinz after a while you wonder why you thought that.

How is the call spend broken down.What type of numbers do you ring the most via 18185.

If you make lots of peak 01/2 calls then its possible you would be better off on a 24/7 01/2 inclusive bundle,rather then use 18185 for these calls.

If you dont make lots of peak calls but your using 18185 for your Evening and Weekend Calls you can get these free. See:http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=1598074&postcount=3

for £14 sounds interesting which i might order. however as Heinz rightly says it does not take into consideration the new internet bundled deals - how does this compare? thanks everso
