sorry to be leaving plusnet


  Well we was looking forward to a long stay plusnet but, seems its not to be and we are moving to a provider who can supply the sort of service we need. The problem is centered around the calling of moble numbers from our phone, we have teenagers here who fail to understand that there is a bill to be payed each month and, iv read several postings of customers with the same problem. this means we have a restricted service half way through our billing month. Topping up is not the answer, both my self and my wife are disabled and the telephone is important, our bills are payed each month with no problem so i resent being told to top up half way through the month  becouse my line is restricted so as i said we are moving to a provider who can help us with the mobile phone problem.as i said sorry to go plus net is ok but not for us.

welcome to the Forum Janmayan.
But what has mobile phone calls got to do with broadband?, they are phone calls on the telephone
or have you got Skype or Voip enabled, much easier to cancel those and make them just use their own mobile

Hey there,
We can't currently block mobile calls (this is not a feature we offer at the moment, but has been requested a fair bit recently). However we can increase your credit limit (this would stop you getting call barred mid-month).
Is that any good to you?

Re: sorry to be leaving plusnet

An even simpler (and cheaper) solution is to get a cheap mobile phone contract.  Tesco will give you 250 minutes a month for £7.50, Plusnet charge 12.5p or 7.5p a minute so lets take the average as 10p/min because the maths is easier, if you were to use PN to call a mobile for 250 minutes it would cost you £25 so the saving there is pretty significant!  Just use the mobile  to call mobiles and the land line to call landlines (by doing that ourselves, our monthly bill went from almost £50/month down to £18/month + £10 for the mobile phone).
