Re: Holy Grail ? - all in phone package with NO connection charges

i.e. tenner for the All in package (+ line rental) but ALSO including all those 4p~5p connection charges

So my reference to the grail, holy or otherwise was the absence of a per call connection charge with Toucan.

1886 is also looks good, apart from the inability to (sensibly) automate the process. At least Toucan can be 'CPS'ed,

That seems to be one of the benifits of a BT line nowadays you can fairly easliy jump from carrier to carrier, currently on my Ntl line the only easy option is One-Tel and savings are not great, Even with one-tel I could get a better saving but only if I was CPS'ed to then via a BT line.
Don't know if it's useful info to you, but you would have to make 180 phone calls on BT option 1 before you have racked up more than £9.99 worth of 5.5p connection charges. Admittedly this is off-peak only and I can't speak with experience of teenagers, as my one and only son is still not quite 2 years old!
