BT Launches Fixed/Mobile Phone
06.15.05

BT today launched the world's first combined fixed and mobile phone service.

The announcement marks an important milestone in the broadband revolution which is allowing people to communicate in ways they never have before.

BT Fusion works just like a mobile phone when you are out and about, but switches automatically and seamlessly onto a BT Broadband line when you get home.

That means you get all the convenience and all the features of a mobile phone but with fixed lines prices and quality.

BT Fusion can offer customers huge savings by allowing calls to UK landline numbers to be charged at BT landline rates of 5.5p for up to an hour for all off-peak calls and 3p a minute at peak times."
