That's extremely useful Michelle.  If I switched to OneTel I could save 25%.

Only trouble is they don't appear to have NTL on there.  Unless I missed it, I'm not very patient :lol:

I'm with onetel, Clive, for my mobile but when you add the BT rental for basic line (£9.50)plus the £13.99 it works out at £23.50 a month. When you consider that you still have to pay for all the 0845 and 0870 numbers it's not such a great deal. BT only charge 6p per hour at night and all week-end. My bills have gone down quite a lot since that charge was introduced and I only pay £11.50 rental per month.

You might want to remove the referer link from that address.

That way you can also compare electricity and gas prices from different suppliers.

I refuse point blank to dial 0870 or 0845 numbers, Lona, because no matter what discount package you use, they are always excluded.  If everyone refused to dial them, they would soon be consigned to history.

A tip.  If you are given either an 0870 or an 0845 number to dial on (say) a bank statement, have a look on the back at the drivel.  They often give an "if dialling from overseas" number.  Remove the country code and you then have a normal geographical number to use, which will be  discounted using your preferred cheap provider.
