To cancel?

[beerandwine]

My nan is late 90s and has a phone line which she never uses.
She only keeps it so my aunt can ring from abroad once a fortnight.
With BT it's costing near £100 a quarter.
I can get a add on to my phone for £10 a month and I could ring my aunt from that.
Would you cancel ?

I would be contacting bt and finding out how to reduce the cost of the line rental. i don't think its safe for her to have no phone. what if she had an accident.

She would also need a phone line if she uses a pendant or bracelet type alarm. There should be cheaper options from BT though e.g. BT basic.

She doesn't use the pendant and she doesn't know how to use the phone anymore unfortunately

Should only be 22 a month for basic phone service. BT. home saver
Bt basic is i think for people on certain benefits

Useful in Emergency

£100 a quarter is £25 a month.

£100 a month is £33.33 a quarter

Oh no, I've typed the wrong way round, simple maths is confusing us all

Does your nan live alone? What would she do in an emergency?

A quarter is every 3 months. So not £25 a month.

Who does she live with?

Is this the lady that social services think should be in a home?

Oh bloody hell ignore me

I have bought her a cheapy mobile phone.
Only a £10 basic and I've showed her how to dial in emergency....whether she remembers is another thing

Sorry. I divided by 4 but y’all get what I meant

This lady isn't safe to be on her own, is she?

She is safe ..just confused at times.
Hence why I thought the phone was pointless to keep.
