bt question

At the moment i am on option 1. thats with free weekend calls.

If I go paperless billing i get £1.50 a month off.

If i sign up for a renewable contract i would get free weekend and evening calls..

Can you explain what a renewable contract is, They don't make it clear enough for me or I'm too thick.

Thanks.

    Paperless billing get you a £1.25/month discount, not £1.50/month.

    The renewable contract is explained in BT's pdf document on the changes (see note 3 at the bottom).
    At the end of each 12-month minimum period the contract will be automatically renewed for a further 12-month minimum period unless you tell us otherwise. We will write to remind you when your contract is nearing the end of it’s renewable period.

    You cannot downgrade to a lower Calling Plan during the minimum period or any renewable minimum period.

    If you cease service during the minimum period or any renewable period an early termination charge will apply. This charge will be based on the outstanding period of the 12-month minimum period.

    If you move home and retain an account with BT you will take the remainder of any minimum period with you.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
