Dumping home phone/landline

The chat seems to be down today. I have a package of 500 Mbit cable broadband, and Weekend Chatter landline. Total cost £60 per month but with £11 discount until 17 November 2025 so I'm paying £49. ...

    I would suggest any changes to your package will result in another 18 month contract.  As for dropping the landline, this will increase you costs as VM give bigger discounts for multi packages.  However, why not just leave the landline unplugged?  When I had a VM landline a long time ago, I never used it, but it came with the package and made the broadband cheaper.

    Well, I think you're right, that if multi packages get bigger discounts I'm saving money. Thanks for that insight. It clarifies things for me. I'll just forget about the landline altogether.
