What are the BT Calling Plans and how can I change to a new one?

Whether you only use your phone occasionally or love to chat all the time, we've got a plan to suit you.

For full details, including our latest offers and deals, visit www.bt.com/callingplans >

In October 2019, we introduced three new calling plans designed to give you more flexibility around when you use your home phone, with monthly call allowances to suit all types of user.

  • Pay as you go: Perfect for occasional calls, with this plan you only pay for what you use. Calls cost 22.84p a minute to UK landlines and UK mobiles, as well as 0845 and 0870 numbers. We won’t charge you a set-up fee
  • 700 Minutes: This gives you 700 minutes of calls to UK landlines and UK mobiles, including 0845 and 0870 numbers. You can talk any time of the day and there are no restrictions to the length of your calls, as long as you're within your inclusive minutes
  • Unlimited Minutes: Designed for those who love to talk, this plan includes unlimited calls to UK landlines and UK mobiles, including 0845 and 0870 numbers. You can chat anytime and there's no limit on call duration either

If you signed up for a landline with us before late October 2019, you’ll probably be one our three calling plans: Unlimited Weekend Calls, Unlimited Evening & Weekend Calls and Unlimited Anytime Calls. These include free calls at certain times of the day - it says on your bill what Calling Plan you're on.

You won’t be affected by our new plans unless you choose to upgrade or amend your package.

You can also easily check and change your calling plan online.

If you have a BT ID:

  1. Log in at My BT
  2. Scroll down and click on the View package button
  3. Scroll down to the 'Landline' section and you'll see your current Calling Plan
  4. To change it, click on Upgrade your calling plan to see your upgrade options

If you haven't got a BT ID:

  1. Go to Check or change your Calling Plan >
  2. Scroll down and click the Change calling plan button
  3. Enter your phone number and postcode, then tick the box to confirm you're the account holder
  4. Click Continue - you'll see your current Calling Plan and have the option to change it
  5. To change it, just select the new calling plan and click Continue

We generally let you swap between calling plans. For example, you can move between the Unlimited Weekend Calls to the Unlimited Evening and Weekend Calls plan.

If you're on our Unlimited Weekend Calls, Unlimited Evening & Weekend Calls and Unlimited Anytime Calls plans and want to move to one of our new Calling Plans such as Unlimited, you’ll need to regrade your package with us.

Terms and conditions apply.
