    Hi again, I only bought my flat in nov last year and whilst living in rented accomodation, i used the providers already in place (British Gas & BT) so when I bought my flat I went with them. Will start searching for better deals. Never heard of Aldi (will search online for nearest to me) and I don't have a Netto near me. Think there is a LIDL near where i work

    I checked Kenya for example and the cheapest company charged 5 p per minute.

    Good Luck with sorting out your finances - you will feel totally different about life when you are in control.
