UK-based broadband provider, Zen Internet, has recently announced that it has added two new options to its Home Talk bundle which currently costs £11.22 a month.

The aforementioned new features are an answer phone service as well as a call barring.

In more detail the 1571 answer phone service will allow customers to listen to recorded messages left by callers when they were not available and call barring will give users an opportunity to ban outgoing calls with the exception of emergency services.

Zen's Head of Product Management and Marketing, Andrew Saunders, was quoted as saying:

"These new features have been added in response to customer feedback and as part of our ongoing development of our phone services.

"Home Talk and Business Talk products aim to provide calls packages that see our customers save considerable amounts on their phone bill quickly and easily.

"They also provide our customers with the confidence that these services come with the same high level of service and support as Zen's award winning broadband."

Customers who are interested in Zen's home phone services can also look at Home Talk Plus which is inclusive of 1000 call minutes and also might be useful to those who call internationally as it has cheaper rates.
