I use a service in the UK called 1899. It buys air time in minutes and then sells them to customers at a cheaper tariff. I pay nothing for loacl calls and get heavily discounted rates on international calls, which is great as i have family in many countries. I simply dial a prefix prior to the number i intend to call and it routes the call via their discounted phone line.

I have mixed feelings about package deals. Obviously the one you found sounds excellent, but I think that you need to do your research well as many will have tie in’s for upto 2 years, which do not always prove cost effective. My top tip is to ask family and friends which services they use and compare the cost with the level of customer service they use, as saving money and maintaining good customer service can sometimes be difficult.

We had a severe flood in 2006. After we returned, having to evacuate for a week at our location, three weeks for others. We had Time Warner Cable digital phone and had it up until we left and when we returned it was up and running. People in our area who had Verizon lost service for over a month upon returning.

Pacakge deals can be great. The only thing to keep an eye out for are low introductory offers. Sometimes the deal is good for the first three to six months, and then your bill skyrockets. It’s just important to make sure the rate you’re getting is going to be your permanent rate.

We get a package deal for our cable, phone, and internet, as well. We use Cablevision in the Mtero NY area. I think we pay $130 a month, as well, and the service had been wonderful.
