POST Office Standard Broadband and Homephone is a bundle package made up of the Post Office Broadband Standard package, along with the excellent Post Office Homephone call package.
You can read a full review of the broadband side of this package by looking at our Post Office Broadband Standard review, but it is the inclusive homephone deal which makes this Post Office broadband and phone bundle worth taking notice of.
Includes line rental
The most impressive part of this Post Office broadband and phone package is that the price includes line rental, so you can discount the £11.75 you are already paying to BT for your line rental and factor it into the price of this package.
The Post Office Homephone package also includes inclusive evening and weekend calls to all UK landlines for up to an hour (you can hang up and dial again after each 60 minute period to avoid paying for the call).
At all other times, calls to landlines are charged at 3p per minute.
Calls to mobiles are 13p per minute, or 8p in the evening and 5p on the weekends.
Keep your number
There is no minumum tie-in period with this Post Office Homephone package, which means you can leave it at any time if you find a better deal elsewhere.
What's more, you get to keep your same number, so there is no hassle in switching whatsoever.
Is it any good?
So is this Post Office Broadband Standard and Homephone package any good? Yes, it is very reasonable indeed. If you consider that it includes line rental, you are getting the broadband and free evening and weekend calls for just over £10 a month. That's a bargain in anyone's books.
