I looked up the price BT charge for just a landline nowadays and nearly choked on my cup of tea LOL

I looked them up a few days ago, wouldn't recommend partaking of any beverages whilst doing so. Think it's fair to assume they want out of telephony.

I moved from SipGate to AA and I am very disappointed in the price hike. AA has given the explaination that more people need support therefore they need to charge more to keep the product viable but for a company that initally had it's target market set at technical users this feels like a tax that's been passed onto us technical users in exchange for a price hike. It would be nice to have the ability to block spam callers in the control panel without having to notify AA about it. I have suggested to AA that they offer a technical bundle for people who don't need customer services and a paid for premium option that includes help with inital setup. I hope this is a one off.

Has anyone seen this increase charged yet?

I normally see the A&A DD come out in the early few days of the month, but now we're a week into January and so far the new £1.80 amount has not been debited from my bank account. No £1.44 debit either.

Is this common experience or has something gone wrong? I've had the notification from A&A but nothing showing up otherwise.

I've had the invoice @ £1.80, but my DD usually goes out around 10th of month, so not yet showing. Saying that the last DD went out early on the 1st of December, not sure why.

My invoice from the 1st is showing

PSTN/VoIP telephone number (Bronze) [£1.50+VAT from January 2026] £1.80
Can see my bill has risen by a massive 36pence

Same here. I don't see how £1.44 + 36p qualifies as a 50% increase. Utter nonsense about trivia.

Further update, the £1.80 DD was taken from my bank account today, so everything appears to have sorted itself out.

It will be interesting to see if the date changes going forwards or returns to the 1st of the month.

Have they ever stated that they targetted technical users or was the primary market for VOIP technical users but is now changing due to the migration to FTTP and the increase in number of telecoms providers (network operators and ISPs) some of which don't offer a built-in VOIP service.
