A third of us don’t use our house phones
When was the last time you used your landline to make a phone call? For many people in Britain, using a home phone has become a thing of the past, with a third of us never using the landline at all.
A study has found that landline phone use is even lower amongst those aged 18 – 34; 48 percent of people in this age range say that they never use their home phone.
According to Ofcom, there were 23.7 million landline phones in the UK at the end of 2010, however many of these are now only being used solely for broadband internet access. As a result of the research, supermarket chain Asda has now decided to stop selling landline phones for good.
Many people use their home purely to make international calls but thanks to the unique service offered by PocketdialUK you can make cheap international calls from mobile phones too!
International calls can be very expensive from a mobile phone and if you need to call family, friends or business contacts in across the world on a regular basis you could find that you end up with a very high phone bill.
However, PocketdialUK allow you to make a cheap international call anywhere in the world using their easy to use service, and this can be done from both a landline and a mobile phone. All you have to do is visit the PocketdialUK website, select the country you want to call and dial the access code given for that location. After you’re connected, you enter the number of your relative, friend or colleague and you’re put straight through. It’s easy, hassle free and you don’t have to sign up for an account, so it’s a win-win option for you.
Some mobile phone companies include non-geographic numbers (like the 084 and 087 numbers we use here at PocketdialUK) in the free minutes you get, so check with your provider as you could be able to make free international calls using your inclusive minutes!
