If it's an 0800 number for the conference call then you can use Skype for free. Mobile networks charge for 0800 connections but Skype doesn't."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

I have to 'upgrade' to a package that is only line rental (for the same price), then take their Evening and Weekends + broadband package (£6.50) then add anytime calls (£5)
They are still cheaper than elsewhere though. That lot comes to £21 (If I pay a year's line rental up front).
Alternatively, I can take their package that includes all that plus You View and a years subscription to love film for £24 (£50 installation plus 18 month contract)Comment

You might want to cost up how much the calls will be, and take into account any "favourite number" discounts.
Alternatively how many free minutes do you get on your mobile phone?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

It's an 020 number which is 7.95p per min. There is an 0844 number which they say is 'about 10p'.
I have taken their all inclusive package now which includes anytime calls, unlimited broadband and Youview TV package all for £23 a month.
I may still look into a voip solution though in case I'm elsewhere what I need to make these callsComment

020 should be covered by mobile included package, if it's infrequent.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
