Telephone line only for people suffering with Alzheimer's and Dementia Telephone line only deal for people suffering with Alzheimer's and Dementia - Fixed cost per month Finding a restricted fixed cost telephone line only deal for people suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia can often be challenging, if not impossible. For most people suffering from Alzheimer's and Dementia having a telephone is a lifeline, however many often call wrong numbers by mistake. Especially problematic are calls to expensive numbers like 118 (directory enquiries), 123 (the speaking clock), 0844, 0871, 0870, and 09 (premium) numbers which often carry high call charges. Many sufferers do not have the capacity to understand or remember the volumes of calls made and the associated costs. After listening to the requests of many customers, the Simple Telecoms team has developed a new, very restricted telephone service, specifically designed to minimize bills. The service gives no access to call expensive numbers, and with all calls included fixed monthly cost per month. We offer three fixed price monthly call plans to pick from, with all calls included. That means the monthly price is the only cost and there will be no other call charges, ever. As with all our services, we are happy to deal with a designated contact which means less stress for the line owner and all of those who care for them. We also offer a managed speed dial service, so you can store the numbers most frequently needed on our system, where we can update them as required. So even if you aren't physically close to the end user, you can make sure the phone is up to date with all of the numbers the they'll need to be able to call easily. No long term contracts - Just 30 days rolling, with 30 days notice Just a 30-day rolling contract - We believe the quality of our Simple Cloud Guardian phone service for the elderly will impress you so much you'll choose to stay. That's why we don't need to tie you into any long-term contracts. Our Simple Call Guardian phone service is provided on a monthly 30-day rolling contract, and can be cancelled with just 30* days notice and the line can be switched off instantly if needed. There are no extra disconnection fees. Transparent billing and easy payment We charge in advance. This means you'll have covered your 30-day notice period for cancellation, allowing us to terminate your line for you the same day you notify us should it become necessary. We operate all accounts with direct debit through Go Cardless meaning that you don't have to worry about making payments and are kept informed before any money ever leaves your account.

However, BT do make a charge to all providers for the work to restart, transfer or install a line, which is why we make the charge. The cost for getting the line working charged by BT is the same for all providers. So, it's very likely that, if other providers do offer to do this for free, they will include it as a hidden cost, and charge higher line rental, call charges, and call connection charges, as well as tying you into a long contract so that they can recoup it. Nothing is free, it's always included!

Restarting a BT or MPF telephone line - £45.00 with VAT A stopped line is an existing phone socket that is present in a premises that is not able to make or receive calls, but has a line still connected to the telephone socket. Before you agree to restart a stopped line, we strongly recommend you complete a physical test of the socket, and run the test below. If you have a telephone socket but no dial tone, please contact us, as not all stopped line will work using this test. We can then run an address check in the Openreach database to check. Time to switch a stopped line back into service is normally between 24 hours and 3 working days. No engineer will need to come to the premises. a) Locate the telephone socket in the house. b) Connect a standard PSTN telephone handset into it. c) Listen for a dial tone. If the line is dead, then this is not the stopped line. d) If dial tone is present dial 17070, which is a BT test number. e) Listen, and a voice will read to you the phone number associated to the line. f) This should read back a telephone number, number; this may be a 'ghost' number.

NEW - SOGEA Call Guardian - Alternative to a copper telephone line Brand new alternative to a copper based telephone line If you are looking for a new telephone line Simple Telecoms can now provide an internet (VOIP) based telephone service to provide the voice telephony element, which replaces the traditional copper-based telephone line used for voice calls.Still with all the call safeguards in place for people suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia.What Is SoGEA? SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access (SoGEA) and is a product that enables users to make telephone calls (VoIP) using the internet without the need for a copper-based phone line, remarkably like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, but using your existing standard telephone. And you make calls in the same way as do now. The Openreach public switched telephone network (PSTN) is ageing and is expensive to maintain. So, BT made the decision to rollout SoGEA to replace the current telephone network, with a full switch off the standard phone lines taking place in December 2025. And from September 2023 Openreach will no longer be installing any copper based PSTN lines. SOGEA Guardian 3 - £21.99 PM Activation cost about the router about the service
 Telephone and Activation cost - one off All UK providers including ourselves use the BT Openreach network for our SOGEA service, and we all must pay a fee to BT to activate the SOGEA connection. This cost is made back indirectly by the provider over the term of your contract. So one way or another, the provider will make this cost back. However, as this is a 'no contract, no commitment telephone and broadband service', so we simply charge this cost as one-off activation cost upfront. Meaning should the service no longer be needed, we can simply switch it off at no extra cost to you.
 Telephone router The telephone router is sent tested and ready to go, so all you need to do is plug it in to the telephone socket, and then plug your telephone in to the router, and you're good to go. The telephone router also supports two independent telephone lines. So, should you need a second telephone line, we can add a second line and number.  Important Considerations: SOGEA is still undergoing industry learning in relation to copper based voice withdrawal. At present there may be circumstances whereby some personal alarm systems are incompatible with SOGEA, meaning they are not IP enabled. Hence, these devices may stop working. We strongly recommend you check with your alarm provider before placing and order for a new SOGEA line. One personal alarm company that has confirmed their care alarm system is compatible with SOGEA are SureSafe. Please click here for more information. When making a call you will need to dial the full telephone number including the local area code. This is the same for all Call Guardian call plans. We would recommend installing a battery backup solution for the telephone router and the handset. These are available in all good PC retailers. However, you would normally lose service if you were using a mains powered phone on a normal copper-based line. We also offer an automatic inbound call divert to another number if the line is unreachable or has a power cut. The SoGEA telephone line runs on an exceptionally low bandwidth fibre broadband service. The broadband service will only run the telephone line, and there is no access to the internet. If you would like internet access please contact our customer service team, and they will be happy to help All prices and payments quoted on this web page includes VAT (based on the current standard Government rate) unless stated otherwise. * Broadband services and speeds are dependent on the distance from your home to the exchange or cabinet. External factors such as internet congestion and home wiring can affect speed. Wi-Fi speeds vary by device and home entertainment.
