O2’s (www.O2.co.uk) home phone packages will only be available to O2 home broadband customers when it launches in March 2010, and will offer inclusive line rental as well as call packages.
The new packages allow customers to get inclusive evening and weekend calls to UK landlines, inclusive line rental and 8Mb broadband for just £17 a month with the Evening & Weekend plan.
Customers wanting a more comprehensive home phone package can sign up to the Anytime plan for £12.50 on top of their broadband costs. Anytime comes with any time, unlimited calls to UK homes, 0845 and 0870 numbers, and landlines in over 20 international countries as well as inclusive line rental.
One of the major benefits of O2 home phone is the award-winning broadband service that each package will be bundled with. The total cost of each bundle - which will include line rental as well as selected calls - will also offer great value for money.
O2 broadband offers three packages, with either 8Mb or 20Mb broadband, all with “unlimited broadband” downloads with generous fair usage policies.
It has won a host of awards for its broadband service since launching in 2007, and offers free, UK-based, 24/7 technical support, a free wireless router to all customers and even free McAfee internet security software.
O2 home phone doesn’t launch until March 2010, but its broadband service has won a number of awards since launching.
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk product director, said: “O2’s (www.O2.co.uk) decision to enter the home phone market is great news for its broadband customers who will be able to save money by bundling both services and line rental with O2.
“It will also be bringing its great customer satisfaction reputation and reliable service to the home phone market, no doubt only increasing its popularity.”
