Easy answer – yes! A phone service can be included with most of Plusnet's deals, so you have access to a landline if you need it.
In the first instance, it works on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you make a lot of calls, that could get very costly indeed. To save money in the long run, it may be better to upgrade to a broadband and phone deal with Plusnet.
A few pounds a month gets you unlimited evening and weekend calls to UK landlines and limited minutes to mobiles. Or push the boat out for calls at an any time of the day. Plusnet also has an Anytime International calls plan if you have friends or relatives living abroad.
Also included is Plusnet Call Protect, which has a feature that sends nuisance calls straight to a junk voicemail box. The bad news is that you'll have to say goodbye to those friendly PPI callers.
