BT to raise prices, again.....

(Updates from the BT website…http://www.calls.bt.com/pricechanges/?s_intcid=con_intban_YA_PCYA_Price )

If there are any residential or business users still on BT for their line rentals and/or phone calls, give me a buzz, hit me with a PM or email me and I will guarantee to reduce your phone bills...

Changes and increases below have been announced by BT (again)


BT Changes to prices from 28th April 2011

Standard Line Rental
From 28 April 2011, our standard line rental charge will increase from £13.60 to £13.90 a month (£40.80 to £41.70 a quarter). If you already get the online billing discount, you'll still receive a discount of £1.25 a month (£3.75 a quarter) on the above prices (this discount is no longer available to new customers). These changes to our standard line rental charge won't affect you if you're on BT Basic, or if you have BT Line Rental Saver.

SimplyFone Residential Line Rentals (no time-related contracts-ever): £9.79 +vat p/month :-)

Call set-up fee
From 28 April 2011, the call set-up fee for calls from landlines not included in your Calling Plan will increase from 11.5p to 12.5p per call. BT Broadband Talk calls not included in your Calling Plan will also increase by the same amount.

•Weekend calls included in the Unlimited Weekend Plan
•Evening and weekend calls included in the Unlimited Evening & Weekend Plan or the BT Broadband Talk Evening & Weekend Plan
•Anytime calls included in the Unlimited Anytime Plan or the BT Broadband Talk Anytime Plan

Daytime UK Calls
From 28 April 2011, the cost of UK landline calls made during the daytime will increase from 7.0p a minute to 7.6p a minute. These changes won't affect calls of up to an hour made with the Unlimited Anytime Calling Plan, or if you're on BT Basic or the Light User Scheme.
