Compare against BT™ (British Telecom)
Compare against XLN™
The comparison tables below detail how Direct Save Telecom make genuine savings for their customers on chargeable calls. BT™, XLN™, Adept and Opal™ may have great headline rates but if you dare to use your phone for a chargeable call they can be very expensive.
Even call capping is expensive, for instance, a BT™ business customer on a call cap plan making a 1.5 minute UK Mobile call will be charged £0.29 by BT™ - that same call with Direct Save Telecom will only cost £0.20 31% cheaper. Even if you just make 10 of those call types each day that will save you £234 per year - add to that the savings made on line rental, call plan, calls to Local & National and the 38% saving on call set up charges you realise why so many businesses are switching to Direct Save Telecom.
