new bt call plan for those on benefits..

http://www.btplc.com/inclusion/phone...vices/btbasic/

Quote:

The new service is called BT Basic. We created it to help customers who receive Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or Guaranteed Pension Credit to budget their money.

The BT Basic line rental is only £13.50 every three months (including VAT), and you can pay your bill however you like.
Your line rental includes a call allowance of £4.50 every three months (this includes VAT). This means that if your phone calls to normal UK or international destinations never go over that amount, your bill will never be more than £13.50 every three months (including VAT).

And what about those, who are not on benefit?
Just cuz they work dont mean they are rich!, they could be getting just as much as those on benefit (after they have paid morgage or rent and tax etc...), but are not entitled because they have just a few pound more!!

:( :(

Is this another prejudiced scheme against the people that keep this country running?

I think disabled and pensioners surviving on benefits should get things cheap.

Re: new bt call plan for those on benefits..

i'm just coming off benefits, if i was still on them i wouldnt lower myself to ask for this new 'package' it would make me feel lower than low, there's scrounging off the state and then there's lowering yourself to scrounge for more

Hmmm, was wondering about this, but then again, dont want to be labelled as scum for going for it :rolleyes: I currently pay standard line rental for BT and as with everyone else, every little helps but do think that if they are starting to do a reduced rate then this should cover more benefits / low incomes and not just JSA or IS

I think getting about £1.50 a week off your phone line rental doesn't qualifiy anybody as scum.

Yet again, I am disgusted with the way people claiming benefits are branded as scum of the earth that should not be entitled to any sort of help whatsoever. Maybes I should submit my P60's for your acceptance to justify the extra help???
