Your home phone has been a friend for a long time. A long time before your mobile was born, you relied on your Landline to make all of your calls. Now, in 2010, the Landline isn’t as popular. As a result, BT is making changes to it’s calling plans again!
Some of you may have received a letter through the post from BT informing you about the changes, some may of received information online. What you need to know is that from April 1st 2010, BT are changing the Peak time on their service. Usually free evening calls are available from 6pm until 6am, however, from April 1st BT are changing it to 7am-7pm.
This means you have to wait a whole hour more before getting your free calls.
Other changes include the call set up fee of 9.3p changing to 9.9p!!!
Daytime UK calls
The cost of your daytime calls is also set to rise from 5.4p to 5.9p. However, this change does not apply to BT Basic, Light User Scheme and In-Contact Plus customers.
Unlimited anytime plans
If you currently have an Unliimited Anytime Plan then the above changes will not affect inclusive calls as long as they do not last longer than one hour.
This information is so small on a leaflet, it may of been missed.
We do have to ask the question why BT feel the need to increase calls again?
Is this the reason more and more people are giving up their landline and choosing a mobile phone?
Will any mobile phone operator see a market between 6pm and 7pm to offer free calls?
One day will we all give up our Landlines for a mobile?… If we did, would the same kind of service be offered by Vodafone, Orange etc?
It’s a shame in our eyes that BT punish current customers for the fact they lost customers, if it continues, I for one will be giving up the trusted phone line and replacing it with a mobile phone service.
