BT announces free calls broadband offer
10 November 2004
BT is offering the first 50,000 new customers that sign up to its broadband packages free calls via the internet for one year.
The telecoms giant is aiming to significantly boost key subscriber numbers for its high-speed internet services.
Customers subscribing to the new deal will need to make calls from their computers using the latest BT Communicator product, which enables users to make phone calls over Yahoo's instant messenger product using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.
"People already using BT Communicator have found it by far the most convenient way of making a call if they are at their PC," said Andrew Burke, director of value-added services at BT Retail.
People wanting to take advantage of the offer will need to be BT Together fixed-line customers and will have to sign up to broadband online.
The offer will be limited to the first 50,000 people who sign up and the free calls do not include calls to mobiles, premium numbers or international numbers.
BT monthly broadband charges range from £17.99 to £29.99 pounds and new broadband customers need a microphone and speakers on their computer, or a special headset.
BT is also offering free calls between PCs to anywhere in the world. The company's existing broadband clients, who download BT Communicator by January 14th 2005 will also receive one month's worth of free UK calls and a free headset, excluding non-geographically based numbers.
