First Telecom

First Telecom is a secondary phone supplier that was set up in 1994 to provide a competitive alternative to BT. The company offers four phone alternatives: three for customers with a BT line and one for those with the cable supplier Virginmedia (formerly ntl:telewest).

Cable Saver

Again, this package doesn’t demand a monthly fee or long contract. It caters people who already have a cable phone connection and promises to have your new line activated within 48 hours. You’ll keep your cable line and phone number, and your calls will be diverted through an easy-to-install First Telecom autodialler machine.

First Telecom’s Price Match Guarantee

As well as free itemised billing and calls to other First Telecom customers, anyone who signs up to one of First Telecom’s Saver packages can benefit from a price guarantee. If your calls are more expensive than BT, Homecall or TalkTalk, the difference will be refunded to you

.

Benefits of using First Telecom

First Telecom is one of a few secondary providers to tap into the market for cable customers: you will find far more companies that require you to have a BT line to use their services. This type of deal is getting more popular though, so customers should always be advised to shop around before they switch to a new provider. You could save a lot of money on your phone bills if the people you call the most have a First Telecom line.

First Telecom customers can use the company’s own UK and international Directory Enquiries numbers.
