Many people want one bill for calls and line rental. If you have a BT line you can now switch to a supplier that will bill you for line rental, as well as calls. There is no need to install anything or change your number. Alternatively you can switch to a cable company, who will install a new line. They will also bill you for all calls and line rental. While many phone suppliers have no 12 month contract to commit to, some suppliers such as cable companies do. Suppliers who offer home phone bundled with broadband can also have fixed term contracts and we’ll include this in the plan details.

The table above shows the four cheapest Wholesale Line Rentals compared to BT’s Together 1 option. Obviously, line rental alone doesn’t tell the whole story – your call plan also affects how much you’ll pay for your home phone. That’s where our home phone switching service comes in. Enter your postcode and we can list all the major phone suppliers available to you in order of cost – based on where you live and the calls you make.

Even if you can’t change your line rental there are other possibilities. Some suppliers can divert your calls through their networks, allowing you to still pay line rental to your existing line supplier (you will be billed separately for calls). These include autodialler, Carrier Pre Selection and prefix number plans.
