If you are in the market for a phone and broadband connection you could save money by opting for a service which combines the two.
Many internet service providers (ISPs) now offer combined broadband and telephone packages.
Rather than paying separately, these so-called bundle packages combine both utilities into one streamlined service.
Why buy phone and broadband deals?
If you choose carefully, a
broadband and phone package could make you great savings and give you a service tailored to your individual needs.
A bundled package simplifies monthly bills and cuts down on paperwork. You will not only have less math to do, but also save a couple of trees.
But with so many deals around, choosing the right one for you can get a little confusing.
How do I choose which bundle to go for?
Because broadband and phone package providers are getting your custom twice over, their deals can be very competitive.
But whilst we all like a bargain, cost isn’t the only consideration. There are a number of key factors that should determine which deal is right for you.
Before even considering a telephone and broadband deal, make sure you really need the facilities it offers. Are you someone who lives on their mobile and could happily ditch the home phone? If so, a phone and broadband bundle is most definitely not for you.
If you use the web only to check emails, read the news and do your weekly grocery shop then you could cut costs by going for a broadband service with defined usage limits. For regular film and music downloaders, however, a faster unlimited data package is the way to go.
With a broadband and phone package you will be paying a single internet service provider, rather than line rental and calls to BT or Virgin Media, and broadband to Sky or Plusnet.
Internet and phone packages vary hugely in the amount of inclusive calls (if any) they offer. If you’re a regular home phone user you could go for a slightly more expensive headline rate and save money in the long term through cheaper call charges.
Some packages charge you to access your voice mail. A few don’t let you retain your old telephone number. It is important to establish the terms and conditions before taking the plunge because you could be signed into a contract for up to 18 months.
It’s wise to bear in mind both the monthly price of any contract and its duration.
