Broadband and Home Phone Deals in October 2023

While networks are working to get 4G to as many homes as possible, some properties still struggle to even get a good enough mobile signal for making calls.

If you live in a very rural area and your mobile connection is shaky, you might find that calling people on a landline is a lot smoother and less hassle. So it may be worth the money to spend £5-10 extra per month ensuring you can get in contact with people when you need to.

If you make or receive international calls to friends, family or colleagues based overseas, it might work out cheaper for you to use a landline rather than your mobile.

Home phone deals featuring international calls are often cheaper per month than a standard mobile phone deal if you plan on phoning abroad a lot - or if calling over Wi-Fi or apps like WhatsApp are not suitable for what you need.

If you rely on your landline for a lot of your phone calls (or others rely on your landline to get in touch with you), then you should definitely consider getting a home phone service with your broadband deal.

Since the most widely available broadband connections need your phone line to work, it would only make sense to get both from the same provider.

However, with most mobile phone deals including unlimited free minutes as standard, you might be better off with a cheap SIM only contract if you make a lot of calls, especially if it’s mainly to other UK numbers. To find out if you could benefit, take a look at our SIM only deals.
