I pay BT £16.50 per month all in, which includes all 01/02 numbers 24/7 Rik.

Can IDNet match or better that?

[Rik]

Do you have any other services, In, eg Call Minder (not 1571), Call Diversion etc?

[Inactive]

Caller display, and I am signed up to the " no cold call " service, not that that should make any difference.

[Rik]

The best IDNet can give you is £13.99 for free evenings and weekends. It really depends on the balance of calls as to whether that's a better deal.

[Inactive]

Very borderline to be honest, I would think Rik.

Thanks for the advice.

[Rik]

I'm borderline too, I might save £2/quarter, it might cost me that...

In, otoh, hates Murdoch with a passion. 

[kinmel]

Enough to pay more than he needs ?

[Rik]

Almost certainly.

I would pay more than I need tho' I would have to pay Murdoch for his carp TV Channels, which ain't going to happen.


Thanks anyway.

BT gives me free evenings and weekends and caller display all for the plain ol' line rental charge which I think is £10.50 as long as I tie into them for 12 months.  I'm afraid IDNet cannot rival that which is a shame.

[mark]

I've been hanging on for this as I really do want a one stop shop for broadband, phone and line rental, and had hopes that the package would be good enough to make me stay.

Unfortunately it does not come close to PlusNet's Anytime+  package, which also includes 20 international numbers. They do this for £15 inc line rental.

Unfortunately, I have now given IDNet notice of my intention to switch at the end of the month.

[Inactive]

Good luck at Plusnet Mark, I wouldn't go back to them if they offered a free package.

[mark]

Thanks Inactive. It's only a month's notice and believe me if it doesn't work I'll be back like a shot.

Until I get my readies back from Iceland every penny counts.

I have my line rental and calls from Yourcalls.net at present, which, unfortunately is also more competitive than the proposed IDNet package.

[Inactive]

I make lot's of International ( Spain ) calls via my BT Line via one of the cheap providers, they cost half a pence a minute, so that has never been a real issue for me.

Again Good Luck..

I am stuck with BTanytime until February I think,which I am happy with as there is a bit of weekday usage.Where I get stung is for calls to mobiles and I am not sure there's any other solution apart from coughing up,the regular mobiles are on a variety of providers.

I think Sky get enough of my money but would probably be cheaper than BT

[talos2]

I have dropped TalkTalk and gone with Idnet for my phone and line rental mainly because I value reliability over price, but only time will tell,  I also like their price structure, it may not be the cheapest, but it is easier to understand.

[alan]

So what do they charge for other than 01/02/03 numbers.....Like 0844/0845/0870 etc... Cannot see it on their page anywhere.

[alan]

Thanks Rich.... Couldn't see for looking... put it down to an age thing again.

[Rik]

I always put it down to my nose getting in the way, Alan.

[uxbod]

Hmmm, just came across this new service offering and really considering it. All my calls are made over VoIP (Asterisk) and I hate having to pay the high BT rental just to use broadband.  So if I could reduce my rental by moving the line to IDNet and having a single bill I would be a happy bunny

[Rik]

It may well suit your needs perfectly, then.
