UK landline suppliers: who, why, how?
BT and the major cable companies all supply landlines in the UK. So you pay these companies for both your line rental and your calls. But you can, through Wholesale Line Rental switch your landline to a new supplier. You will no longer have a contract with BT, but with the new landline supplier. Switching does not involve any work on the phone line into your house and you keep your existing phone number. What's more, some suppliers don't require that you sign a 12 month contract. Cable suppliers do require a 12 month contract, as do certain plans where broadband or other services are bundled in the same package.
No two landline suppliers are the same...
UK landline suppliers often offer special deals for certain products or services. For example, long-distance calls, calls to mobile phones or deals combining a landline with cable TV and internet access. It's worth bearing in mind what other products you are likely to want in the future when you are choosing suppliers for home phone, broadband or digital TV.
