Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

I think it would be good if Plusnet were to offer free calling to all UK landlines, at least, if not mobiles as well, so that we can keep in touch with family in these times when we can socialise.  My phones is in lockdown due to a billing error by Plusnet, which means that I cannot change my calling features at all.  Also, I can't raise anyone to actually speak to on the telephone!  So, I am totally isolated.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

We're doing what we can for people to help out.

 

I've checked your account and I see the problem to which you refer. However, this shouldn't be blocking any calls from being made so you should be able to make contact with people.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

It’s not that I can’t make calls, I have to pay for all my calls which become very expensive. Could Plusnet let us have free calls or could I somehow add a plan to incorporate calls, which I can’t do due to the fault.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

I think in terms of speed adding a plan, even if only temporary is your best bet. Can you please DM us your username? Tony.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

Thanks, I've got your username now and I've taken a look at the account. The problem is the account is currently awaiting a fix which is preventing me making any changes. I've added a note to the account but need confirmation of the product you would want. Can you please reply to the ticket at https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=200411192 and I'll take it from there.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

I cannot access anything that will tell me what you have to offer in relation to call packages. If you could please tell me what is available and at how much extra per month, then I can tell you which package I would like. Thank you

This is in addition to your monthly subscription. Please note some plans aren't compatible with LRS.

Re: Free landline calls during the Coronavirus outbreak

I have logged in but can’t find where to go to give you authority. I would like the evening and weekend on a temporary basis.
