Primus Line Rental

Canny_mal

Hi all

I know it's generally agreed that it's best to stick with BT for line rental but I have a £50 credit with Primus who I've used as my CPS for the last 18 months. The credit originates from an offer uswitch ran to encourage customers to switch their calls to Primus.

My typical monthly Primus bill is less than 50p so it will take me forever to use up the credit. I've checked with them and if I move my line rental over the first few bills will be paid from this credit untill it's all used up. Therefore at £10.50 a month I'd basically just have to pay about £13 for 6 months line rental. After the 6 months I'd be free to switch back to BT if I wanted to.

However, I have a couple of questions.........

Does anyone on here already have their line rental through Primus and if so what's your experience been like?

Will I be able to switch my line rental back to BT after the 6 month contract with Primus and still be able to keep Primus as my CPS?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I have line rental with Primus, although it is connected with broadband and a phone package, this is a 18 month package, so you would have to check, concerning the 6th month switch back you talk about.

I have caller display as well, and have had no problems, with the phone side of the package (there was a problem with broadband being down for a couple of days months ago, and recently an email problem, but both fixed now), and i switched my line rental over to Primus back in July last year, i can also confirm that i can still also use over ride providers such as 18185/1899 etc, but one thing to note, that as i no longer have my line rental with BT, i now have no account with BT, therefore i can't use 1280.

Hope that helps you in some way.

Thanks for the re replies. I emailed Primus about their minimum contract for line rental and got the following reply....

Thanks for your enquiry.

Our line rental is currently charged at £10.49 per month, with the caller display feature charged at £0.56 per month. You would retain your current telephone number and any features you currently have on your line.

The transfer would take 10 working days to complete and the minimum term for he line rental contract would be 6 months.
