£13.30 in Phone calls..yet £60 phone bill (BT)
Im on some plan evening and weekend calls..
I dont have any extras on the line but I do pay with Paper.(which I know they charge me extra for). I just find it utterly amazing the calls itself comes to less than 14 pounds yet the bill on the whole is £60...

Sounds a bit like an error to me, why don't you speak to them about it?
Im not a heavy phone user and that seems utterly crazy. |

Isn't that £13.30 calls plus 3 months line rental?
Roughly the same as my average BT bill on the Evening and Weekend call plan with £10-£15 worth of calls... |

Yup... line rental is £13.60 plus £3 for the evening and weekend calls... so £49.80 before any calls are made... plus £13.30 and you've got £63.10 before any reductions...

Doesn't sound like an error. I was with BT and hardly ever used the phone - and bills (quarterly) were getting on for £70. So ditched them and went for Tesco home phone, which has a free evening/weekend option + standing charge, and I'm paying £14/month (less than £45/quarter) now compared to Bloody Terrible's £70-odd.
There are probably many other companies offering better deals than BT, but reading reviews, there's one company which has the initials BT but without the "B" and include another "T" that I'd actually pay more to avoid!! |

£14 a month is £42 a quarter... only 3 quid less than BT before calls... or £6.90 less than I pay before reductions...
Having said that, I'm really no big fan of them... |

Your bill does seem to be right,however as you're making £13 of chargeable calls wouldn't it be better to change to the Anytime package at £5 p/m instead of £3 to include these calls,unless of course they are to mobiles.
Like howard h my quarterly with BT was around £70 Anytime + FF Mobile,most of the charges came from connection charges as I used to make lots of short calls. I transferred to IDNET currently payng £14.29p/m inc 5 hrs Anytime calls with no connection charge at all not even to mobiles. Always paid <£15 since I joined in October Quite a saving!! |

The amount sounds about right for your circumstances.
To reduce it: 1) Go to paperless billing 2) Pay by DD 3) Sign up for 12 months to get evening and weekend calls free 4) Use 1899 or similar to make your daytime UK calls for a fixed fee of 5p per call. |

Unfortunately, the £1.25/month discount for paper-free billing is not available to new users.
![]() He said he knew they charged him extra for paper so I assume that means he's had the offer of paperless and done nothing about it. |
