Bye-Bye BT Together Option 1; or, 2000% price increase

AndrewRH

An article over on The Register said that BT is getting rid of Option 1; and so evening calls of 1 hour that were just 4.5 pence will now be about a pound!

I don't think anyone on here is going to get caught by that (please see the HERE link in my signature below).

In any case, Martin has been recommending 1899, 18185 and 18866 for ages so, if you don't want to sign up to a 'rolling 12 month contract' to get free evening (and weekend) 01/02/03 calls for no monthly fee with BT Together Option 2, sign up with one of them and make those calls for 5p each (regardless of duration) at any time.

Heinz, this 12 month contract: is it just locking in your line rental with BT, or does it affect the CPS element as well?

I think just line rental - but another poster (a BT employee) is going to come back with a definitive answer to that question.

You can still CPS your calls away, you can on any of the regular BT tariffs regardless of special offer.
