I received a letter from Talk Talk in the week.
It stated that my calls will be transferred over to Talk Talk 1 on 17 March.
As it's the same service as Tele2, and still with free weekend calls, then thats no problem.
As I make so few calls, and have lots of mobile inclusive minutes anyway, I decided to sign up to Postoffice Homephone, purely to get the £50 line rental credit.
This will obviously make Talk Talk redundant.
However what worried me in their letter was this quote
"TalkTalk plus will soon include line rental from TalkTalk. We will let you know in advance when you can expect to be transferred to this service. BT or another access operator will be responsible for your line rental. Please see our TalkTalk terms and conditions on
www.talktalk.co.uk or contact us on 0870 087 9000"
Now my agreement with Tele2 was purely for CPS. I've decided to move over to HomePhone and have asked HomePhone to provide a service.
I have made no contact with Talk Talk whatsoever, and although I accept that they will provide the exact service I asked Tele2 to provide, I strongly object to TalkTalk then hinting that they will move me over to line rental as well, without any sort of authority from me!!
I'm sure an e-mail to them asking not to be transferred to line rental will do the trick, or indeed asking not to be transferred to CPS should be enough, considering I'm due to be starting HomePhone soon, however if they then e-mail me to state that I must call their 0870 number to sort out the problem, then I won't be too happy about it.
Seeing as HomePhone isn't due to be started for a few weeks yet, I thought a couple of weeks of free calls on TalkTalk wouldn't be too bad.
