It can be supplied to new and existing customers but there is a criteria that has to be met first of all. These questions will be asked when you first apply for service. If you dont meet the criteria you will have no option but to go onto bt together options. Light User Scheme is not available for anyone with broadband or if you are wanting broadband. Also it is soon to be removed from supply as the service is been replaced by a new service. |

LUS is also not available to those who use other phone providers, such as a mobile, cable phone or try and route calls via cheap call providers.

Back in the day, it was a good idea for those who didn't use the phone much, or for those who used it mainly for incoming calls.
Now, considering the number of restrictions, you're better off disconnecting and getting a PAYG mobile. |

I'm on Light User at home, quaretly calls are never any more than a few quid.
Going through their Terms and Conditions a few months ago, I've broken at least 10 in the years i've had it, and currently breaking quite a few. Inc the one which says no Broadband....... IMO its their fault, I ordered ADSL in 2001 with BT and no one ever suggested it needed to be changed. |

This is to make sure there are people not on this tariff who should not be on it as they have found various loop holes thats allowing people to be on these services when they should not be on. So I dont think it will be long now before they click on that your on something that ya should not be. |

as a sales advisor at BT we dont even promote this service, its reactive meaning they have to ask for it by name and also qualify for it too.
I think I've sold this twice in 3 years. If I were to order broadband it would block the order straight away if they have lus or in contact or the new bt basic |

BT send me a flyer with my bills advising me to join LUS as I hardly make any calls. I phone BT to take up THEIR offer only to be told I can't have it as I have a broadband line.
I have yet to find out why they keep sending me the invites. |
