Heinz - sorry to be awkward but my reading of the above posts gives me the impression that Dustsucks couldn't find the Primus mobile rates, not the 18185 ones!

I apologise if I'm reading it wrong!!

Thanks for the information Heinz but as kaydee notes, it's the mobile rates for Primus that I can't find, not the 18185 rates. Anyone know where the Primus rates are hidden please?

Heinz

I don't think they're there.

However, THIS THREAD looks promising - capped at 20p for up to 20 minutes!

Apparently they are not on their website yet. However I emailed them and this is what they sent back.

The Penny Mobile looks good.

The Penny Mobile Concept does look a good one. Particularly as its a free bolt on.,and other suppliers charge anything from £1.50p a month for cheaper landline,to mobile calls.

Does anyone know if switching from BT to one of the other home phone providers affects a BT line (but not BT contract) broadband connection?

I've just read a few posts abt Talk Talk but no-one seems to have said abt the quality of service. Does anyone have anything good or bad to say abt them?
I'm a standard BT customer, I've got a good calls pkg but sick of the extortionate line rental. Talk Talk currently offering at abt 9.99 (with first 3 mths free) and free evening and w'end calls. (I know there are better options with 1899 etc. but I have no chance of getting all at home to use prefixes!) Tks.

No mention of this offer on TT website is it a special one?

From 1/2/06 TT line rental goes up to £10.50p.They charge 50p a month for basic 1571,and £1.75p for caller display.A total of £12.75p with them only £11 with the BT basic line rental.

had them for a year now dont do what i ask them to do dispute with them regarding being charged for 1571 when its not working so got £5 credit plus refund said this was not good enough cos i can get better else where went thro to cancellations got 6 months option 3 free 01 and 02 nos anytime and told note put on account to renew 6 months free option 3 in 6 months.. so suits me for time being

cant use 141 to withhold my number but can use 1471 etc
also blocked mobile calls so everyone has to use free minutes on mobile now therefore steady bill of £10.50 with free anytime landline calls

note to self...must check out saynoto0845 website now

Sounds like you have got great deal their Wilf for the time being.
They would not be able to give it to everyone of course,or their be out of pocket.
