Yep there sure is. I use a company based in manchester. Still pay BT the line rental, but the calls are charged by this other company... saving on average 30% - 50% across all networks / local / regenal and national calls.

If you want the details, drop me a line via the profile.

We thought about that and it is a good idea but ideally she would prefer to do it all landline based.

Ooh, just found a thing called a GSM terminal that plugs into a PBX which we dont currently have but I wouldnt be opposed to installing.

Anyone have any experience of these?

Plotloss, take a quick gander at these two pages on Martin Lewis' site. They've cut my bills considerably (admittedly mostly international rather than mobile calls though).

I think T-Mobile are doing a 3000 minutes per month for £15.

I also use the Talk Talk £10 per month unlimited calls to landlines.

Bizzare!

Anyway.

Mrs Plotloss has just got a telephone bill for her business for the last 30 days which amounts to £400 odd.

£250 of this is mobile calls.

Is there anyway of cutting the per minute cost of calls to a mobile like one can do with international calls by selecting another carrier?


Use www.18866.com - been using them for a year or so - mega cheap. They claim free national day time calls but in reality there is a 1p connection charge but 1p for a daytime call is pretty good. Mobile calls are 12p.

UK Rates

No, three are a terrible idea. I've had no end of trouble with them, the LG phones are shit and three's customer service is even worse than NTL's
