The improvements in internet technology didn’t help, either. Not only are landlines competing with the mobiles, but also with applications and programmes like Skype which allow people to use their internet connections to have face-to-face conversations, something that landlines just can’t compete with. Is there any point, then, in continuing paying for landlines that we might never use?

The amount we use landlines might be decreasing, but there’s still value to be had in maintaining one – because mobiles and internet connections depend on good signal for you to use them, you can’t take the risk of that signal cutting out during an emergency or a situation where you absolutely have to get in contact with someone. Landlines don’t have this problem, maintaining a strong signal at all times when they’re plugged in, so for this reason (and to make staying in contact with less techno-savvy members of the family), it’s worth keeping one going, even if you only use it once in a blue moon.

Telecoms providers have largely begun to phase out landlines from their lists of services, only offering them as an ...
... extra in broadband and television deals. However, BT is one provider which still offers landline services – there are a number of BT home phone deals which are tailored to different customers, depending on how much they think they are likely to use a landline. The line rental fee which must be paid every month is a flat fee, which is the same for every one of the BT calling plans, but customers must pay extra fees if they want inclusive calls at any time other than the weekend.

The deals available at the moment are the Unlimited Weekend Calls, Unlimited Evening and Weekend Calls, Unlimited Anytime Calls and Unlimited Anytime Plan Plus deals, which are all fairly self-explanatory – it’s worth noting, though, that the Unlimited Anytime Plan Plus deal offers customers cheaper calls to UK mobiles. All of the deals include three basic calling features that come as standard, including the ability to find out the number of the last person to ring you and access to an answer phone and voicemail service. Customers can also sign up to the BT Privacy at Home service to help prevent any irritating sales calls – this feature also includes Caller Display so you can see who is calling you. More calling features are available at extra monthly fees.

Millions of people around the country use BT for their landlines, and more and joining every week thanks to the company’s unparalleled customer service record, affordability and general quality of its service. If you’re already signed up with another provider, it couldn’t be easier to switch over, with the company taking care of everything for you and even allowing you to keep your existing phone number. Simply log on to the company’s website today to start the process and make sure that you’re never unreachable with a good, solid landline.
