BT Price Increases Make eZe-talk 12.5% Cheaper on Line Rental, 25% Cheaper on Calls and 80% Cheaper on Calls to US & Australia

Millions of BT customers will have to pay 10% more for phone calls from their landline, and BT monthly line rental charges are increasing by 50p from the beginning of October.

The cost of connecting a call will also go up from 9.9p to 10.9p, while the daytime rate rises from 5.9p to 6.4p per minute.

BT recently EXCLUDED evenings calls from their entry level call packages and these calls are now charged at 1.5p per minute. The combined effect of these price increases will see the average BT customer actually paying in excess of 10% more.

The BT price increases make independent telecom service provider eZe-talk 12.5% cheaper on line rental charges and 25% cheaper on calls made outside of the package and call connection charges. As eZe-talk does not charge for evening calls they are effectively 100% cheaper compared to BT.

eZe-talk has always given their customers the guarantee never to increase the prices charged for their landline calls as long as they remain a customer.

Steve Walsh, Managing Director of eZe-talk said, “At a time of economic uncertainty any type of price increase is always going to be unpopular with consumers. Fortunately our customers benefit from our guarantee never to increase the prices we charge them for their calls as long as they remain a customer. So the only impact this will have on our customers is that they will now be saving even more money compared to BT.

“eZe-talk will NOT be increasing charges for line rental or call charges to new customers. We’ll continue to include free evening calls in all our call packages, backed by the same no price increase guarantee. This makes eZe-talk considerably cheaper than BT.”

By switching from BT to eZe-talk customers will save:

12.46% on line rental including free evening and free weekend calls
25% on calls made outside of call packages
32% on broadband
82% on calls to the USA
88% on calls to Australia and 41% on calls to mobile phones in Australia
