Autodialler phone companies

Your telephone bill is split into two parts:

•    a monthly charge for your line rental
•    a bill for your call costs based on what calls you make

Autodialler phone companies let you make cheaper calls, saving money on your phone bill, while keeping your line rental with your existing provider.

•    Why should I use an Autodialler phone company?
•    How do I select Autodialler phone companies when I do a price comparison?
•    How do I switch to an Autodialler phone company?

How does the Autodialler work?

An Autodialler is a little box that plugs in between your phone and your phone socket.  All calls you make through this phone will then automatically be routed through your Autodialler company.  Other phones you have around the house that aren’t connected to the Autodialler will continue to be charged by your existing phone provider.

Why should I use an Autodialler phone company?

If you want the flexibility of trying out a company, using an Autodialler might be the perfect choice for you.  Once it’s plugged in, you can forget about it and make cheap calls.  If you don’t like the service, you can simply unplug the Autodialler.

Autodiallers also work extremely well for people with a cable telephone line who want to save money on their calls but are stopped from using other money-saving methods such as Wholesale Line Rental or Carrier Pre-Select.

How do I select Autodialler phone companies when I do a price comparison?

Our home phone price calculator knows which companies offer Autodialler, based on where you live and who your line rental is with.  You can see all home phone companies, or just filter on Autodialler companies if this is the method you want to use to save money on your phone call costs.

How do I switch to an Autodialler phone company?

Switching to an Autodialler phone company is easy and can all be done directly on the firsthelpline.com website.  Once you’ve compared packages from the different home phone providers and found one you like from an Autodialler phone company, you can complete an application form online, which we’ll send over to them securely.

In a few days, an account will be set up with your new phone provider, and an Autodialler will be mailed to you which you can plug in and use straight away.  You’ll still pay your old provider for your line rental and any calls you make from a phone not connected to the Autodialler, but all calls you make through it will automatically be billed by your new provider at a lower cost.
