[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1020293, member: 176256"] Yes we have a landline and use it a lot. I have an anytime contract which gives unlimited calls to landlines in the UK and about 40 countries together with 1500 minutes to UK mobiles. The bill I get helpfully lists the calls we make and in one month up to the 4th of July we made 95 calls made up of nearly 5 1/2 hours of calls to UK landlines. They don't give the time for the mobile calls but looking quickly I reckon about 1 in 5 by quantity. There was one call to France taking just over 3 minutes and one call to an 0845 (grrrr) number. The 0845 number cost £1.24 on top of the plan but the connection charge is included as part of the plan and saved £4.00 compared to a plan with no inclusive minutes. The plan saved me 76p for the call to France, £45.73 for the UK landline calls and £71.10 for UK mobile calls. So I reckon I get my money's worth. By contrast I make a £10 credit last about a year on my mobile and my wife is more profligate needing topping up every 8 months or so. [/QUOTE]
