    From the UPC site http://www.upc.ie/phone/


    Our Home Phone uses your existing TV cables instead of the traditional telephony lines used by other phone operators. This means you no longer have to pay expensive line rental charges of €25.36 a month.

    We can offer one of the cheapest phone services in Ireland to our TV customers - with us you pay just €6 a month.

    You can also choose from two great call bundles: Freetime World and Anytime World.

    For an additional €7 a month you can avail of our Freetime World pack which gives free local, national and international landline calls to 21 selected destinations at off peak and weekend times.

    Alternatively, for an additional €12 you can avail of our Anytime World pack which gives free local, national and international landline calls to 21 selected destinations at all times.

    The 21 international destinations are:

    Australia Italy Romania
    Austria Liechtenstein Slovenia
    Belgium Luxembourg Sweden
    Denmark Netherlands Switzerland
    France Norway United Kingdom
    Germany Poland USA *
    Greece Portugal Canada

    UPC is just about the best value broadband available, but it's not available everywhere. Having UPC TV doesn't guarantee broadband of phone availability. In fact, even if broadband is available, they don't always offer phone (even though the phone service is VOIP on their Internet connection). Bizarre, but that's the way it is. You'll need to check what's available.

    get UPC broadband installed & add a digital TV package if you want,..then contact blueface.ie for your phone service,.it works on your BB connection like the UPC phone service but far better/cheaper..do your figures & see what I mean.

    Blueface is cheaper.

    Blueface is Not "Better".
    But absolutely can't offer the stability, security and quality of UPC's native service, which doesn't go over the Internet. Blueface is inferior because it can only go on Public Internet.
