Sky News report that BT are putting their Land Line call charges by 10% and putting the line rental up by 50p from the beginning of October.

The cost of connecting a call will rise by 1p and the daytime rate is rising from 5.9p to 6.4p per minute.

They have reassured us all that it’s OK because many customers are on all inclusive packages so won’t pay the extra call costs and they need to do this to raise money – that seems an oxymoron – one the one hand they imply that most bills won’t rise, on the other hand, they must as this is a revenue raising exercise.

It’s no surprise that pretty much every ‘non BT’ telecoms company describes their bills as a ‘percentage cheaper than BT’.

So, if you’d like to see if you can save money by switching, and  having your bills set up in a different way give me a call.

The company I recommend isn’t a supplier – Utility Warehouse Discount Club (UWDC) use the bulk buying power of their membership to negotiate better deals. So, your utilities will be provided by a mainstream supplier, but at a cheaper rate.

They also have the same pricing plan for all their customers, so you won’t be caught in with a ‘fishing rate’ then find it’s expensive again in 6 months, UWDC have no minimum contract and rely on keeping their customers through good pricing and good service and innovative money saving ideas – like ‘the clubhouse‘ and ‘findmethecheapest.co.uk‘.
