New Packages from IDNet - Autumn 2014

[Simon]

I've never used Choose To Refuse.  How does it work?

OK. There is light at the end of the tunnel.........

This is an example MINUS VAT.

ADSL Lite = £10.50 a month
Standard Line Rental with Unlimited Calls £21 a month.
Total = £31.50 a month.

This page shows it as £30.50 a month. http://www.idnet.net/data_products/broadband_phone.php

But I have an email from support that says " A £1.00 per month discount applies when taken on an IDNet 'Standard', 'Premium' or 'Business Premium' phone line with IDNet broadband enabled on it."

Hope this helps.

When I logged on this morning my new package was already up and running.  Well done IDNet!   

[Ray]

Yes, I switched to one of the new packages yesterday and it was all done within a couple of hours, excellent service.

Me tomorrow hopefully fingers crossed.

You have a callblocker so you don't need to use it Simon.  It blocks the last number that called. 

[Simon]

Ah, OK.

You have a callblocker so you don't need to use it Simon.  It blocks the last number that called. 

Not just the last number you can add lists of numbers yourself too, after a while you end up with a nice block list of calls you don't want and people that annoy you too. Use that along with refuse anonymous calls and that's a good set up.

That's basically what the box I've already got does.

I have been with IDNet for the past six years and I am more than satisfied with the service but we have always stayed with BT for our phoneline on the assumption that any line problems would be dealt with more quickly directly through BT.

I have no wish to move from IDNet but would like to reduce costs if possible. My understanding is that if I take line rental from IDNet the monthly broadband charge is reduced by £6.00 which leads me to ask two questions;

Given that we have never had any issues with the phone line could I 'safely' move payment to IDNet?
Do IDNet guarantee that one can keep the existing number which we have had for thirty years?

[Simon]

When you 'move' the phone line, nothing physical happens, Dave.  You're effectively just transferring the billing to IDNet.  The advantage with this is, if anything goes wrong with the phone line, you'll be dealing with IDNet, not someone in Calcutta.  Your phone number won't change,  but make sure you choose the right phone package to retain any services such as Caller ID, etc.

Thanks Simon, I will do some comparative costings when I get time.
