AOL Broadband and phone offers

All of AOL’s's (www.AOL.co.uk) broadband packages come with downloads of up to 8Mb and a free wireless router, but now they can also be bundled with a range of home phone packages too.

AOL Talk

In addition to your AOL Wireless, Wireless Flexi or Wireless Plus package, you can choose from a selection of six different home phone packages.

Talk Unlimited is currently free as long as you remain an AOL Broadband customer, and offers inclusive calls to local and national numbers at any time, with no limit on how long you can talk.

Talk Evenings & Weekends is also currently free for AOL Broadband customers and offers free calls to local and national numbers, between 6pm and 6am and all weekend, with no limit on how long you can talk and no minimum contract term.

Talk Unlimited International Plus costs £9.99 a month and allows you to make as many calls as you like to landlines in 55 countries, as well as UK local and national calls.

Talk Unlimited International offers the same plan but with 36 selected international destinations rather than 55, for £7.49 a month.

Talk Evenings & Weekends International costs £5.89 a month, and offers unlimited calls to 36 countries between 6pm and 6am and all weekend.

AOL also offers a Talk Pay As You Go package, which now comes with free weekend calls. It has no monthly subscription so you simply pay for what you use.

Benefits of AOL Talk

There are loads of benefits of switching to one of AOL’s Talk packages - especially if you’re an AOL Broadband customer - which over 250,000 people have already found out.

By switching to AOL Talk you’ll be able to take advantage of cheaper calls and the fact that all AOL Broadband customers get free technical support when calling from an AOL line - great for technophobes.

There won’t be a break in your existing home phone service and you’ll get to keep your existing number as well as having access to AOL’s online billing system that’s updated daily so you can easily track your call charges.

AOL

AOL has a reputation for being a reliable ISP with good customer service, and now that it has branched out to offer home phone and broadband bundles, you can expect the same standard of service from your telephone provider too.

However, before signing up to one of AOL’s broadband and home phone packages it should be noted that the provider operates a regional pricing policy. This means that customers living outside of its local loop unbundled (LLU) area have to pay more for their broadband.
