TalkTalk’s customer base can be expected to increase rapidly with the launch of its new scheme, which enables its subscribers to make free local calls anytime. Wendy Becker, Managing Director of TalkTalk, remarked at the announcement that the telecom provider wants to give costumers the best deals possible, especially in the time of recession (click for more info on the best broadband).
Up to 70 per cent of all calls that TalkTalk customers make are local, making this deal especially significant for customers, allowing them to make local calls to their neighbours, friends and local services without having to lose sleep over the telephone bill.
TalkTalk customers can avail of this offer from 1st May, while the 2nd of June will see the offer being extended to all 0845 and 0870 numbers too.
In keeping with BT’s current line rental increase, TalkTalk has confirmed that its standard line rental charge is set to increase to £11.25 per month and some speculate that the increase would also help the company compensate for the revenue loss due to the offer.
TalkTalk has made similar moves in the past too by being the first to provide free calls between its customers and free bundled broadband, and the new offer will serve to reinforce its reputation as a pioneer.
