12,000 householders in a recent uSwitch.com survey showed that over 50% of respondents believed they could get a better phone deal from their line provider, but millions do nothing about it. Indeed 7.5 million customers have never switched.

Only 59 per cent were satisfied with their supplier's customer service with BT and Virgin Media (the UK's largest home phone providers) ranked bottom for the 2ndyear running.

The comparison website uSwitch.com, along with others will help you find the best deal and you can switch, assuming of course you’re out of contract.

Heavy users should look for an all-inclusive 'any time' plan whilst light and medium phone users should look for a supplier with a low line rental to avoid paying extra for a package they don’t really need.

It’s been estimated that shopping around could save you up to £250 a year.
