The best landline deals

If you want to save money on your landline, take a look at these great deals.

These days, most of us tend to rely on our mobile phones for calling our friends and loved ones. However, if you still use your landline, there are several things you can do to reduce how much you spend each month.

One of the most effective ways to slash your costs (apart from simply ditching your landline altogether) is to switch provider and find a better deal.

So here, I’m going to take a look at some of the best landline deals on the market right now.

Best for light users

Let’s start by looking at some of the best deals for those of you who don’t use your landline that often and want a basic deal that’s as cheap as possible.

*Sign up by 14 March to get this offer.

As you can see, the very best deal here is the Primus Home Saver which comes with a monthly line rental of just £7.99 a month and no package fee. However, you’ll need to hurry if you want to take advantage of this deal, as this line rental price expires on 14 March.

You’ll also benefit from free national evening calls and free national weekend calls, while national daytime calls are just 3p per minute.

Alternatively, the Yourcalls Evening and Weekend Plan offers the same great rates for £1.70 more per month on line rental.

Bigger users

If you use your landline on a regular basis and need to make calls throughout the day (perhaps you work at home, for example), here are some of the best deals for you (with the cheapest package cost listed first):

*Online exclusive offer to Homephonechoices.co.uk

It’s worth noting that with the Yourcalls Anytime Plan, you’ll also get to choose a ‘Golden Destination’, which means you can get an extra discount to a mobile network or international destination that you call the most.

And with the Auracall Saver Anytime package you’ll also have free anytime calls to 32 destinations worldwide! It also has cheap international calling rates from 2p per minute – so if you have friends and relatives overseas, this could be the package for you.

The Auracall Saver Anytime package, the DirectSave Telecom Option 3 package and the BT Unlimited Anytime Plan package also all include calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers.

The whole package

But what about those of you who don’t just want a landline? What if you want to have the complete package, with broadband or digital TV thrown into the bargain? Well, here are the best deals for you:

*Offer ends 30 March.

**Online only. Offer ends 7 March.

***Offer ends 14  March

^ Exclusive offer, price dependent on area. Offer ends 3 March.

Note that with the Virgin Media deal, there’s also a £40 connection fee and with the Plusnet deal there’s a £4.99 connection fee.

All of the deals in the tables above are available through homephonechoices.co.uk.

Utility Warehouse

Finally, another option to consider is Utility Warehouse. If you sign up, you’ll get lots of discounted deals on your landline and broadband costs, and you can also get your gas and electricity and mobile phone thrown into the deal as well. This will all be included in a single bill.

If you’re after a home phone deal, for £10.75 a month, you can get unlimited free calls all day to other Utility Warehouse members. And if you decide to take out other services too (such as a mobile phone deal or gas and electricity), you’ll also benefit from free calls to UK landline numbers as well as 10 popular international destinations.

The time of day in which these calls (weekends/evening/anytime) will be free depends on how many services you take out with Utility Warehouse (the more you take out, the better the deal).

Meanwhile, home phone and broadband packages start from £19.99 a month, including line rental.
