Where does the £11 come from? Take away the cost of the broadband connection and telephone service from £33 and you end up paying a lot less than £11 for the TV service. £17.99 for internet and £12.50 for Talk Unlimited Local works out at £30.49. That means the TV service is costing only £2.50.

I knew Channel NTL would come in useful eventually. Local is your area code and all adjacent areas codes.

Suppose that means people near the coast get the worse deal because we are adjacent to the sea in some cases LOL!

Possibly not. 01908 is Milton Keynes, and i think this is outside of your local area.
NTL won't publish maps giving out this information, as there are so many changes it would be impossible to keep up with it.

According to a site that seems to be based on BT, which shouldn't be too unsimilar, some of your local codes would be these:
01322 01372 01689 01707 01708 01727 01737 01753 01784 01883 01895 01923 01932 01959 01992.

0190 seems to fall outside of your regoinal area also, so it is possible that these calls are charged at National Rate.
If you need to know for certain, however, then i suggest calling NTL and asking them as they will have more accurate information.

so we was on the 5p talk plan before so now we have to ay 3p per minute instead of 5p for a whole hr could we still have the 5p talk with this plan or would we have kept it as we already had it ?

[Bob]

As good a place as any to look would be your local BT phonebook. They tell you one section what is a local call and I would assume that NTL will class their local calls the same

[paul11974]

but im not a bt customer so i dont have one of there books

[Fingy]

But its not a BT phone book, they just have the contract to produce it so they have their advertising all over it. If you look at your phone book it will say the area, i.e. Northern Ireland... though I think this may have been changed to a Belfast only version?

[paul11974]

ok so all of the below numberes in the link must be local ?

http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publi...e=020&x=24&y=2

but can i still get the 5p call plan with talk unlimited local

[Pia]

Yeah, and your talk plan doesn't make it any different. Local rate is local rate!

?

[Pia]

What i mean is, yes all those numbers in the link are local to you. So they will be included in your Talk Unlimited evening and weekend calls.
Local rate areas won't change no matter what call plan you're on.

would it be possible to add the 5p talk plan to the 3 for £33 deal ?
