Cheapest way to make multiple daytime calls

[bizzylizzy]

What's the cheapest way of making multiple daytime calls?

Mobile phone packages are very cheap these days with many free minutes for pennies. But of course that depends on the numbers the calls are being made to.

Can anyone recommend a cheap package for making up to 100 calls a day to a mix of landline and mobile phones?

BT for example seems to have so many different packages that you can subscribe too. I've also never quite found out the difference between their standard and business rates. I know that a lot of people use mobiles with bluetooth for multiple calling these days, but just wanted to ask your opinion.

Thank you.

BT Anytime is what I'm on, unlimited calls 24/7 to land lines and 0807/0845 numbers, £16 pm including internet but plus line rental.

Thank you jd_here (sweet dog in your picture) I wondered about that package. But wasn't sure whether you could use it for business calls or whether there was some ruling (where isn't there with BT) that stipulated non business use only.

I pay £5 per month with Sky for unlimited phone calls but only to landlines though.

hmm, if you want to be making calls to mobiles and landlines, a mobile contract might be better. You say 100 calls a day, but how long will they be? 100 calls at 1 minute each and you could get a cheap contract that would cover that. Also, what percentace of mobile/landline do you estimate?

I'm on talktalk - £16.49 a month for internet and unlimited landline calls plus 500 minutes per month to mobiles.

(plus the usual line rental which is either £14 per month or £9.50 per month if you pay a year in advance)

Yes, I use Giffgaff who use the 02 network, they're by far the cheapest mobile provider. I just wanted to compare landline costs with mobile free minutes. There are so many rules and regs around these days about who you can call and what numbers are included. I would estimate 50/50 mobile/landline. I suspect there won't be a clear cut winner. At least calls are so much cheaper than they used to be. Thanks everyone.
