telephone providers??? need help

im with BT (means bloody terrible dont it??) ive just had my phone bill in. charges where over 58-00!!! and my calls where only 9-00. so concidering telling them where to stick their phone lines wont go with pipex as a few yrs back they RIPPED ME OFF and it took over a year to get the money back.
so was wondering if anyone can recommend a phone service.
we have tv n BB with virgin. but even then they are pricey for their phone lines.just dont know what to do. they are so greedy these big companys. got a good mind to get a couple of bean cans and a lump of string lol
thanx in advance

How about Sky?

Phone line, phone calls, TV, and broadband from around £40 a month!

Their BB is excellent too! Much better than virgin via bt imo.

Re: telephone providers??? need help

I now pay £35 a month (my last bill) for broadband, TV and phone.
The Broadband is the lowest speed - but enough for normal use. The TV is limited to Freeview channels (I rarely watch TV) and the phone is call-barred for outgoing mobile/ premium rate calls. The family use their own mobiles for anything else!
That`s with Virgin Media. I wouldn`t recommend them particularly, but I find that if you phone up and shout at them that you`re leaving they offer deals
If you phone Virgin and say you`re going to Sky if they don`t offer you a better deal (I got the Introductory Offer when I did it last) you should be able to sort it. If not - move!

I'm with Virgin media, it costs £42 a month, for that I get over a hundred TV channels, talk unlimited on the phone, and broadband internet called surf-unlimited.

The phone package is really good coz I don't pay for calls anywhere in the UK as long as it's a land line and as long as the call doesn't last more than 59 minutes, if I go over the 59 mins I pay for each minute at the standard call rate.

Re: telephone providers??? need help

TalkTalk are my telephone service providers. I pay £15.74 a month and for that I get Line Rental-unlimited telephone calls 24 hours providing I don't go over the hour (can put phone down and redial again) and all my calls to Germany are free. There about 15 other countries you can dial for free. Also get 10% off any mobile calls I make.

This is only for the telephone service-but might be worth checking how much they charge for the full package Broadband etc.
