North West debut for revolutionary phone service

Liverpool households are today set to benefit from a ground-breaking landline phone service that allows people to call anywhere in the country, abroad or to a mobile phone for one fixed price, regardless of the time or day.

Telewest's new Talk Anywhere service is the first of its kind in Britain and will give consumers a choice of packages with 200, 400 or 800 minutes per month. The time can be used to phone local, national, international, mobile and internet numbers for a fixed monthly fee, which also includes the phone line rental.

Talk Anywhere 200 - 200 minutes for £18 a month, including line rental
Talk Anywhere 400 - 400 minutes for £24 a month, including line rental
Talk Anywhere 800 - 800 minutes for £34 a month, including line rental
Unused minutes can be rolled over to the following month and consumers can usually keep their existing phone number if moving from another service provider, such as BT. The cable service is initially being launched in Liverpool, prior to a national roll-out later in the year.

Eric Tveter, president and chief operating officer at Telewest, said: "Talk Anywhere is the first landline service to truly do away with confusing phone tariffs. With no difference between calling a local family member, an hour-long call to Sydney, or catching-up with a friend on their mobile, it couldn't be simpler.

"We were the first company to offer unlimited calling packages and now we're breaking the mould again. We're giving people in Liverpool complete peace of mind and the freedom to call whoever they want, whenever they want."
