Find out what kind of caller you are

The home phone calculator works by first understanding what kind of caller you are.  If you make lots of calls during the day, your phone bill will look very different to someone who only calls on the weekend.  Similarly, if you call mobile phones a lot, you will pay more than someone who doesn’t.  The calculator asks a few simple questions about how many calls you make, when you make them and who you make them to, so that it can accurately calculate how much you spend, and which suppliers’ plans are cheapest for your calling profile.

Compare phone tariffs from the UK’s leading home phone providers

Once the calculator knows more about your calling profile, it can show you cheaper phone tariffs from other leading home phone providers.  The calculator takes into account the different rates for calls to local, national, mobile and international numbers.  It also takes into account the cost of hidden charges, including minimum call costs, connection fees, and line rental fees.  You can then easily compare the yearly cost of using your current provider against other providers, and if you want, the detailed charges from your current provider against all the different charges from other providers.

Switch online to a cheaper phone tariff

After comparing tariffs, it’s easy to switch to a new provider online, and only takes minutes to do.  If you like the look of a new provider and their charges, answering a few basic questions on the website will complete your application.  In less than 10 working days, your new provider will arrange the transfer of your telephone number over to them without you needing to get involved.  Once the telephone number is transferred, you’ll be able to make cheaper calls, confident that you’re on the right phone package for you.
