Fone Forum

It's a pity that Graham, our resident 'TalkTalk enthusiast', isn't here this week to post this himself: I am sure he would have loved to do so !        ;D

TalkTalk have just put a very short term offer before us in the run up to Christmas.
Up till the 15th December, they are offering a 18 month contract, with a connection fee of £29-99, but with 12 months free.
See details at:-   http://www.talktalk.co.uk/12monthsfree (http://www.talktalk.co.uk/12monthsfree)
This means that for the first 12 months you pay just the line rental of £11-25, which goes to TalkTalk instead of to BT, and that only increases to £17-74 per month in the final 6 months ( i.e. months 13 - 18. )
I think this is probably one of the most generous offers that I have seen them make.        :o

Reservations remain about their bad billing and customer service of course, but for someone looking for a 'bargain basement deal', this is probably as good as you are going to find.        ;)

The discount code to use is to get this deal is: 300AEFREE  ( Thanks to BigJohn. )        :)

The deal also includes Unlimited local calls at anytime, which is handy if you use a local geographical access number.
See http://www.talktalk.co.uk/pricing/uk (http://www.talktalk.co.uk/pricing/uk) to see what counts as a local call to you.        ;)

If you are unsure if this deal is available to you in your area, there is a page where you can check this for yourself.  See:-   here (http://www.talktalkmembers.com/content/view/109/149/).        ;)

If you are interested, please remember the tight time deadline, and get your order in before the closing date.        ;)

No doubt other members here will wish to add their comments, and ( Goodman perhaps ? ) will tell us how the deal can be sweetened even more - if you place your order through a cashback site.        ;)

TalkTalk's offer of free local calls is even better now, as they have classified calls to 03 numbers as local, so many of my services could be accessed for free from a TalkTalk line.

You must sign up directly via http://www.talktalk.co.uk/12monthsfree so cashback is out of the question.
I read elsewhere you cant sight up via the phone either, you must go via the link.


Yes i have finally got around to joining you all. ;D

Good morning BJ, and welcome to the forum !        :)

You will find that several of your 'good spots' have been posted on this forum, so you have already had a positive influence on us.  Thank you.

Now that you have decided to join us, we look forward to being able to benefit from your contributions 'first hand' so to speak, rather than indirectly.

Please feel free to send me a PM if you would like to ask about any aspects of this forum.

I am sure somebody must have read it. it says unlimitted call to 0845/0870  evening and weekend!!!

The maximum inclusive call time is  60 mins per call,but you can of course redial to avoid the normal 4.5p per min rate. Unlike BT they dont appear to charge you for calling 0845 access numbers.

its nice to have free broadband... just hope and pray that you don't need to contact their customer service after joining them. i nearly hit my head in the wall after holding the phone for 30-40 minutes few times, just for one house move 3 years ago. word of advice- DO NOT even consider talk talk if you have any remote chance of moving house during your contract.

I've been with AOL (before it was acquired by carphone warehouse), sky, talktalk and O2 for broadband. O2 is the best in terms of customer service.
