* The saving is calculated based on paying for the same phone and broadband services separately.

If you currently subscribe to different phone and/or broadband services, you may wish to switch to one of the bundled services, in order to receive better value for your money. For example, it is possible that switching to one of the bundled services could not only save you money on your monthly subscriptions, but also on the cost of phone calls and/or additional broadband quota.
