BT increases line rental and other prices from 20th Sep 2015
It's annual price rise time!
Here are the price rises relevant to landlines: BT line rental to increase to £17.99. Call set up fees (where applicable) to increase to 17.07p Anytime calls increases to £7.95 There's a deal for those that just want a landline: line rental + anytime calls in a package called Home Phone Saver 2018, a fixed price deal for £20.99 a month until 2018. Plusnet started the annual cycle, now it's time for BT. Won't be long before everyone else starts. (Wholesale prices have in contrast remained stable) Coverage: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...ice-hikes.html http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/7...e-letters.html |

I've got Infinity 2 and anytime calls. I pay my line rental 1 year upfront and get a discount. It's fast and it works - what's the problem ?

I used to but now it's £180+ I feel it's too much so just pay monthly. You only save £20 over the year now anyway.

I paid a year up front in February. Does that mean my line rental does not go up until Feb16 or will I start to be charged the extra straight away?

Not soon enough for me

Prices just went up 10 months ago. So its no even been year.
I don't have anytime calls just evening and weekends. For anytime calls would be waste of money for us a we don't use the phone much during the day. I already pay £17.99 for line renal plus as I don't pay by direct debit. I pay towards BT bill via the BT payment card. Darren |

If Broadband came before the phone nobody would pay for the phone side of things |

The line still has to be maintained for your broadband service though, so why should it be reduced?

I've just received an email - apparently from BT - advising of the changes mentioned in the OP's post.
It actually arrived in my spam folder and didn't address me by name. It just said "Hello" and went straight into the message. Because of this I didn't click on any of the links, in case it really was bogus. I'll phone BT later this morning to get some clarification. Has anyone else received a similar emal? |

"Changes to your account Hello, We're changing some of our prices Thanks for staying with BT. We're always looking for ways to give you more. That's why we're introducing things like the chance to double your data, AMC, our brand new US drama and movie channel and our best ever online protection - all for free. To keep bringing you our best products, we do have to change our prices sometimes. So, from 20 September 2015, line rental is going up by £1 per month. To find out more (and for details of other price changes including some broadband and TV prices) please click here. But don't forget, there are still plenty of ways to get an even better deal. If you'd like to get any of the offers above, register your interest and we'll email you back when they're available. We want to make sure you get the best deal for you. So, if you want to change something, or even leave because of these price changes, and you're within your minimum contract period, you'll need to call us within 30 days of receiving this email to avoid paying a charge for leaving early. You'll need to give us 30 days' notice to leave (or 14 days5 if you're switching provider), starting from the date you ask us. We won't charge you the increased price during that time. Thanks for choosing BT. Libby Barr Libby Barr Managing Director, Customer Care" |
