BT Service Charges

I am currently looking into changing my BT land line and am doing some research into what is on offer. My question is, do other providers have service charges like BT. For example my BT bill for last quarter has something like £40 of service charges, and cost of calls was £35, would other providers do this?

I've looked at Talk Talk 3 for example and it says £7.49 per month, and £10.50 line rental. So would my bill be £17.99 or would there be additional service charges?

Any help appreciated, thanks

    It'd be £17.99

    However before you decide to move elsewhere just ensure that you're not still under any contracts with BT.

    If you look at the user 'Heinz', his signature contains some good advice on how to reduce your BT bill

    I've had a look at my bill and the charges are:

    BT Together Option £37.02
    Calling Features £4.46

    Hope this helps :)
