BT and EE

[Marbot59]

Hello, 

                I was dubious of changing things around when BT joined EE a while back.  However I think I may be paying too much?  And it may be better to just have (consolidate) the one?  I  am a bit old fashioned due to experience and I do not like changing things around as I have been bitten in the past with headaches with Orange/Talk Talk, and house heating changes that were offered by British Gas that all turned out to be disastrous for me on the financial front.

So I have landline and broadband with BT and EE is my mobile phone provider.  However I have been wondering if I should get rid of my landline and put broadband with EE.  All my life I have had a landline and so it seems a bit 'odd' in losing it?  I would like to see anyones own journey in this and perhaps anyone out there could/enlighten or advise me?  In the present economic climate anything that saves money is a bonus.

                          Regards,

                                                   Martin

@Marbot59 : Whether having a landline phone no. is your decision.

@Marbot59  with just about every service you have these days it is almost essential to shop around when each contract runs out. Insurance companies put their prices up, bu will often give you a discount if you call them up and say you can get it cheaper going through a comparison site.

As for land line, you can still have them, it is just they are delivered via your broadband router these days. But of course you can save money by not having one, £6/month I beleive and the cost of calls or a call plan.

@Marbot59 So from experience of doing just such back in March, Joined EE and dropped the landline, did not wish to do that but the aim was to go to BT, but was pushed by THEM to EE, already knew of all the VOIP landline issue, then moved my (mine/wife) mobiles from O2 to EE about 1 month later, little savings on both (but was not the aim). The crux is, when all this VOIP DV settles down, will take up landline again, on one of the packages (may not be with EE). My experience is you cannot rely totally on mobile, and do miss the landline so it is coming back, its just a matter of when and how...👍hope it helps

@Marbot59 I have not had a landline for many years now and have very good connection with mobile, I do not need landline or voip, I am very happy this way, it all depends on whether you want it or not and whether you need it.

@Schockwave Unfortunately not the best mobile signal with EE, and more so indoors, when they screwed up wifi calling couple of weeks ago, started to drive again for Landline. It is what it is, and as you say each has to make there own call!
