Anytime calls package does work for us but I appreciate we're in the minority. Anyone making comparisons shouldn't forget the iniquitous call setup charges which may apply to certain out-of-package calls. Also agree that some utility companies are rather fuzzy when quoting VAT and ex-VAT figures, though I'm sure they don't intend to mislead. Much.

That's the beauty of Pulse8 lines. No call setup charges. The ones I see from others are 20p or more.

Yes, the likes of BT call setup charges are beyond the joke. IDNet charge 8p setup and 1p per minute, but still a no-brainer for those of us that make very few calls, as the line is about a fiver cheaper than what we pay at Pulse8.

Bundled with your broadband . Similarly on Pulse8, line rental when bundled with broadband is £6 .

Yes and LLU

I use call over ride service from 18185 to avoid high BT call charges. There is a 5p set up charge but at under 2p per minute its cheaper than BT rip off call charges.

I gave up call override services years ago as they are too expensive now. I have 1p per minute calls from Skype out, Sipgate, which gives me another free local number and https://www.1pmobile.com/ so worry little about landline call cost.
