5 smart phones (iphone and android) and the landline. The device needs to be able to receive a text message. When you call out, it show's your mobile number on the clip.
All devices and landline can be used at the same time. If you have a free call plan, calls made via the app and landline at the same time (to 01,02,03, 0845/0870) will be free within the 60 period.
Yes, you can call your home line. You can install the app on 5 phones and those 5 phones and the landline can use any call play you have at the same time. If the app users call landlines then as long as it's in the 60 minute period, all the calls will be free.
The anytime call plan is £5.15 PM and this app lets you take advantage of it.
I don't understand why everyone beats BT.
Line rental is expensive and I wish it was a bit cheaper.
£13.90 add anytime calls £4.70 total £18.60. So you must have been calling other numbers or have taken additional services like call dirvert, waiting etc.
As far as I'm aware, voip providers do not give 0845 or 0870 at the same rate as 01,02 and 03.
Also, unless you have packet prioritization on your friends router, the moment they're downloading or watching tv, your calls will sound nasty.
If you hate bt that much, then look at be, they do landline for £14 including uk calls and 600 minutes to other countries (22 most popular ones), broadband starts from £17 however, you're still paying bt.
I have no problems with BT, infact, I use my landline all the time. I do have voip but until broadband gets better and voip packets get priory then I'll stick with the landline.
When BT make FTTH (FTTP) more available, I will then wonder how they will make you take the landline. But hopefully they will reduce the line rental.
Virgin do offer internet without a phone line however, its only about £6 cheaper.
