BT is set to raise the monthly cost of a number of its call packages and also raise the charges for some calls as well. But many of those affected will be able to leave their contract penalty-free, or can try and negotiate a better deal.

The changes are expected to be implemented from April 2nd, although the price of line rental is being ‘frozen’ until the end of 2017 at least, while BT also plans to introduce automatic compensation where it fails “to deliver on service promises” later this year.
