Low cost UK ISP Plusnet has gone against the industry trend by testing a new range of broadband and phone bundles for one week, which are not only cheaper than usual but also come with free evening, weekend and mobile calls as standard. Previously providers have preferred to scrap their calling plans to focus on broadband.
Normally customers of Plusnet’s standard broadband and line rental packages would not receive any free calling options (only standard call charges), but for the next week new subscribers will also be able to order bundles that enable you to call UK landline numbers starting 01, 02 and 03 or 0870/ 0845, and enjoy up to 1,000 UK mobile minutes, during evenings and on weekends.
At present the change is just a test and there’s a strong possibility that we might not see it return, especially since the general trend has been for consumers to switch their calls away to Mobile or VoIP instead of fixed line phones. The bundled calls add-on usually costs £4 extra per month and this charge will of course return at the end of your contract period, although it can be removed if not needed.
