Ofcom Accreditation Scheme

The Homephonechoices.co.uk price calculator is the first dedicated home phone comparison site in the UK that is Ofcom accredited.

Under its Price Accreditation Scheme, Ofcom awards acreditation to price comparison calculators that have met the terms of a rigorous independent audit. The audit assesses whether sufficient processes are in place to ensure that information provided to consumers is accessible, accurate, transparent, comprehensive and up to date.

The Ofcom scheme also requires that the Homephonechoices.co.uk comparison information is provided in a format that is easy to use and understand and to provide services both via the telephone or in writing, in addition to online.

Ed Richards, Ofcom Chief Executive said, "Clear and accurate price information on communications services is fundamental to consumer choice. The Price Accreditation scheme will assure consumers that the price comparison calculator they are using is up to date and reliable".

How do we make our money?

We do receive commission from companies when customers switch through our site. However, this doesn’t push up the cost to you; you still pay the price quoted on the provider’s own website, but with us you can compare costs against other providers, check for hidden costs or fair usage policies and look at more than just the price.

We rank home phone packages on our site by monthly cost, or among other things, line rental and call rates. Our commercial commitments have no relation whatsoever on the way that we list providers or packages.

We are also paid for the advertisements we run on our website. However, neither our commission deals nor the advertisements we feature affect our listings, news or our content and consumer guides, all of which are completely impartial. We are dedicated to providing informative content that offers true value to our customers.
