In previous posts, we've explored how to cut the cost of your electricity and gas and how to find the cheapest petrol and diesel. Now we are going to look at how to reduce the cost of your monthly landline bill.
In order to find the best deal, you need to work out how much you use your home phone and when you make calls. Most providers now offer packages with free bundled calls (weekends, evenings or 24/7) which can save you a great deal if you use the phone a lot.
Regular landline users
For those who regularly make calls from their landline, the best starting point is a price comparison site (see our regular favourites uSwitch.com and Energyhelpline). These allow you to enter details of the calls you make (time of day/week, number of calls, etc.) and then show you which provider is cheapest. From personal experience, we are a big fan of Primus' service as they offer very cheap packages and a good online billing platform.
Infrequent landline users
For those who rarely use their landline (perhaps you just need one for the internet or to receive calls), you need to chose the provider with the cheapest monthly line rental. At the moment, BT charges £11 a month (discounted to £10.50 if you sign-up for online billing), but the Post Office charges just £9.95 (a saving of £1.05 a month off BT's regular price).

Cutting your monthly expenses is one of the easiest ways to increase the amount of money you have left at the end of each month. Why not follow our tips, cut your bills and then earmark the money you have saved to start an investment nest egg?
