So you have to pay an extra £11PM because you don't have a phone line?

nah we got the phone line installed. we're in a brand new house, so luckily our landlord paid to have the line installed (over £100). But if there was a phoneline before, I think you can have it turned back on for about £20 or something like that.

U can have a phone line installed, for internet use only, and not have a phone! Speak to BT. They were surprisingly helpful.

You have to get a phone line or cable. In some limited areas there are (truly) wireless providers, but you need to get thier special receiving equipment installed. Basically you need a data connection to the workldwide web and that normally involves wires.

If your internet use is relatively light and you truly do not want a 'house phone', you can investigate a 3G data card that plugs into a slot in your laptop. These run at up to 512Kbps, so not as fast as phone or cable, but fast enough for browsing and emails. Slightly more expensive to buy and you need a new contract.

If you can get cable, you just buy a broandband connection, that will give you your internet without the requirement to also buy a phone line. Do not get a telephone as part of your cable service. Instead get a SIP VoIP ATA to which you can connect a telephone and sign up for a SIP telephone service such as sipgate. That way you have a telephone that costs you nothing to own and as you have not put any credit onto the account is incomming calls only.

Next the very dodgy part. look on fleabay for dbox or similar. Work that part out for yourselves I am not going to tell you what it will give you.

If you have nothing, then perhaps go for a talk-talk package ...

The cool thing (for your situation) is inclusive free calls ... so it doesn’t matter if you girls want to talk for hours on the phone, it is all inclusive ... you might have to have a pillow fight over who is next in line to use it mind!?!
