Can they save you money, and how does it work?
The Utility Warehouse Discount Club. Information, an explanation, and the services and savings available.
The Utility Warehouse Discount Club
You can become a member of the Discount Club, and start saving on your household bills.
This is not achieved by being more energy efficient, or by phoning less people, or by surfing the internet less, but by The Utility Warehouse charging you less for the things you use already.
Does this sound like your kind of Discount Club?
How does it work?
The Utility Warehouse can charge you less for your essential services because it has a member base of nearly 250,000 households across the UK.The Utility Warehouse uses the resulting buying power to negotiate discounts from larger suppliers.
So you benefit from amward-winning customer service AND a reduction on your bills.
Also, the company has no national advertising budget like most other companies. This means that the customers don't end up funding massive campaigns costing millions of pounds.
So you save money there too.
The SAVINGS available
This is achieved by making smaller savings on a few services.
They are the only company with such a proposition, and their one bill system makes them VERY highly recommended among their customers.
Free calls for everyone
On top of this, they give you free calls to EVERYONE (non-customers too) depending on the number of services you take with them. (and the more services you take the more you save, anyway!)
It works like this (taken from their website):
All Club members benefit from unlimited free UK calls to other Club members using our Home Phone telephony service - at all times
Take any 2 services and receive unlimited free Weekend Calls to any UK landline number
Take any 3 Services and receive unlimited free Evening and Weekend Calls to any UK landline number
Take any 4 Services and receive unlimited free Calls to any UK landline number All day, Every day! The SERVICES available
Home Phone and line rental
If you have a BT line coming into your house you can benefit from cheaper calls AND cheaper line rental. If you have a cable line you can save money on your calls.They have a price guarantee, which goes like this:
"We guarantee to save you money compared to BT's best prices... or your whole bill is free"
"Every month we'll compare the price we've charged for each call against BT's current prices and give you an additional discount if necessary to ensure you are saving money with us."

Gas and Electricity
You can also save on your gas and electricity through the Discount Club. The savings here will obviously depend on how much energy you use.But like the home phone service, they also have a guarantee in place to give you peace of mind and to make sure you're never paying more than you need to.
The "Triple Value" guarantee goes like this:
1. "For your gas, we guarantee our prices will always be cheaper than British Gas, wherever you live in the UK."
2. "For your electricity, we guarantee our prices will always be cheaper than the prices charged by the regional electricity supplier for the area where you live."
3. "And for your complete peace of mind, we guarantee our prices will always remain competitive compared with the cheapest tariffs available from the "Big 6" suppliers."
So what does "Big 6" mean?
"Big 6" means the six major energy companies who currently supply over 98% of UK households, comprising British Gas, Powergen, npower, EDF (London Electricity, Seeboard and SWEB), Scottish Power and Scottish & Southern Energy.
If the company you're with was just in that list, get on over to the Utility Warehouse!

BroadCall and BroadBand
BroadCall is the newest package from the Utility Warehouse, combining high speed broadband, home phone line rental, and free telephone calls.You can get this package for either £19.99 a month, or £27.99 a month (depending on where you live - because of BT exchanges).
And BT charge £12 per month just for line rental!
BroadCall makes BroadBand look expensive, don't you reckon? ;)
You can check the amount you would pay (£19.99 or £27.99) by going to their site (here) and putting your number in the LLU checker.
In the package you get:

Mobile Phones
OR,
you can use your existing handset, get a new Utility Warehouse SIM card to put into it (keep your mobile number), and pay 8p for your calls and 7p for texts.
This is a really good tariff because before you make a phone call... you know how much you're going to pay!
And some pay as you go tariffs are as much as 35 - 40p a minute, and when you go over your bundled minutes on your contract phone it is likely you'll be paying 35 - 40p a minute too.
So 8p is a really good deal!

BlackBerry!
This is my favourite one of all.The BlackBerry.
Some people still think BlackBerry is a fruit (which of course it still is!), but a BlackBerry is also a super-dupa smartphone.
I have a BlackBerry Pearl with Utility Warehouse (the one in the picture), and it does all of this:
* Gets all my emails delivered automatically. I don't have to do anything to receive them. They just beep through as they're sent to me. I can reply too.
* I can surf the web, check ebay auctions, search google, check dictionary.com, browse amazon, do everything I would do as if I were sat at my desk.
* It has an MP3 music player. I was going to buy a Zen Creative music player, then the Pearl came out. So I upgraded from my last BlackBerry, and now I listen to music when I'm out and about.
* Google Maps. Just like google earth, but in the palm of my hand. Get directions, view satellite pictures of exactly where I am... amazing!
* All instant messengers. I pay another company about £1.50 a month for this. I can talk to all my friends on all their instant messenger things like MSN and Yahoo! Messenger, whilst they're at their computer desks.
* BlackBerry Messenger. This is an instant messenger conversation tool to give unlimited free text-like messages between all BlackBerry handsets wherever they are on earth.
* A camera! I've never had a camera phone, so this is a nice treat for me. Snap, snap, snap!
* And, of course, it comes with everything else a normal boring phone would have.
The BlackBerry costs £29 a month, and with that you get the handset and UNLIMITED usage of data, which means unlimited surfing of the web, unlimited sending and receiving of emails, unlimited usage of the cool google maps application, etc etc. You only pay once. And any calls you make are 8p a minute.
So get a BlackBerry Pearl!

One bill for everything
So you don't have to mess around with loads of pieces of paper and payments at different times of the month.
No one likes getting bills, so you might as well only get one!
