Free Evening/Weekend Local/National Calls on BT for 3 Months

Got BT Update August 2005 with Bill and it says

You could upgrade from BT Together Option 1 to Option 2 (Free Evening and Weekend Calls at no additional cost) before 30th September and pay nothing for first 3 months ....

Call Free on 0800 004 800
Quote: BT Together Option 2 Special Offer to Advisor

** Offer available until 30th Sepetember 2005 or to the first 100,000 eligible customers who sign up

I have signed up without any problem and I am advised to get Option 1 back just before 3 months end to avoid any charges (savings of £18 total)

    yes. i was told the same ! he he he.........yippee....!!!!! I am just annoyed that you have to talk to someone in India who goes through all the options for everything else ! They have to read out all the gubbins about broadband and other stuff...... yawn.... but at least I have saved some money... you beat me to this thread. !

    The free calls for evenings are after 6pm. Just change back to option one after 3 months and robert is your mothers brother, a great saving !

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    Can you upgrade for free online or do you need to call them?
  • thanks for this everyone, while on the phone was also offered a 25% discount on mobile calls for £1.50 per month which for me should save me a packet :) as mobile calls per quarter are about £50 so about half my phone bill!!

    Thanks for this one. I really must start reading the update booklet that comes with the bill but usually I'm in shock after reading the amount owed!

    The mobile phone discount offer is great too!

    Got fed up by the time they rattled on about sky tv though.

    https://www.tele2.co.uk offer exactly the same as BT but there offer goes on for another 4+plus months until the end of 2005.

    BT have a max free call duration of one hour.Tele2 does not.
    If you dont use 18866 or similar,or if you forget to dial prefix BT charge 3p a min at peak rate.Tele 2 charge 2.5p a min

    You can still get BT,s free CLi if you are with Tele 2 by putting some traffic over BT by using 1280 overide.(One call a quarter will do)

    Tele2 dont offer line rental at mo,so unlike TalkTalk or Onetel they want pester you about changing line rental to them!!
