I don't make many phone calls. I am not fond of the phone and I don't have time to talk for ages (I'll have a chat sometimes in the evening but that is included in the package and doesn't cost anything extra). If the phone were entirely free, I still wouldn't use it much.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-17302719118232965812008-08-15T22:48:00.000+01:002008-08-15T22:48:00.000+01:00I'm out of my depth here, but I shall certainly lo...I'm out of my depth here, but I shall certainly look forward to your post, BW.

It's impossible to get anything else as BT still provides the line. <BR/><BR/>I reckon they save me several hundred pounds a year. Why should I contribute even more than I already do by having to have BT landline (there is no cable here and BT is cheapest for just line rental) to BT's shareholders' profits when there are services that give me as long as like to a landline number for 5p? (that could be all day!) and 6p per minute to mobiles in the day and 3p evenings and weekends? Plus heaper rate non-geographic calls.<BR/><BR/>I'll finish the post on this subject that I have in drafts next week, then everyone will see just how BT rips us all off.
