Trying to change Call Plan to Unlimited but......

...when I go to my account and try to upgrade, it then changes my monthly payment from approx £30/month to £49/month. When I signed up, I was under the impression that I would be able to amend the call plan, but no mention of losing any discounts. Would be grateful if someone could advise how to do this online rather than using the call centre.

 

Many thanks.

@Tonymcclennon2 

There have been several similar posts on these forums recently.

As far as I am aware, you will not lose any discount on your broadband contract just by changing call plans. Seemingly the on line tool  simply quotes your broadband price at the full price without taking account of your discount which will still apply after you have changed call plans. 

A Plusnet staff member should spot your post on here and confirm my statement.

Thanks both of you. I was surprised to find that 4 calls lasting a total of 3 minutes cost me over £5!!!!

 

Given that I am working from home and using the home phone more than usual, I may well take a punt and go ahead with changing to umlimoted.

 

Thanks again.

I've taken the plunge and added the unlimited UK calls package...….but I'm now told it won't start for another month. Not sure if there is any way of getting it set up to start immediately?

See this thread on a similar issue.

One of the Plusnet staff had the ability / authority to change the call package "immediately" - it may be they can do the same for you if you PM them.

Hi - it was £4 per month extra for unlimited calls.

I rang and they gave me April 28th to start the new service. So you managed it immediately?

Re: Trying to change Call Plan to Unlimited but......

Jgb’s post pointed me in the direction of another thread that suggested sending a PM to the support team - if you check the previous posts and click on PlusnetTony, send him a PM and he will hopefully get you sorted.

He rang me this evening, and had the new call plan set up in minutes.
