Why bundle your broadband and a call plan?
Broadband and home phone bundles include broadband with a call plan - in one package from the same provider.
If you’re paying separately for your internet and phone calls, it makes sense to bundle both together:
Which providers offer broadband and phone deals?
Most broadband providers offer broadband bundles with either a call plan included or offered as an add-on.
Sky, Vodafone and Virgin Media allow you to add a discounted call plan to your broadband package; whereas Digiweb, eir and Pure Telecom include a call plan in the price of your broadband package.
You can compare deals from these providers:
Can I keep my phone number if I switch broadband provider?
Yes, you can usually keep your house phone number if you switch.
Keeping your old home phone number means you won’t have the hassle of changing your contact details or losing touch with anyone.
Can I bundle my mobile and broadband plan?
The deals listed above compare landline call plans only, however some offers - like Vodafone’s RED Family discount - rewards customers who bundle their mobile and broadband plans together.
As landline use declines, mobile and broadband packages may become more popular. Eventually, legacy copper landlines in Ireland with be fully replaced by full fibre as part of the Copper Switch Off (CSO).
How to choose a broadband and home phone plan
When you’re comparing deals there are a few things to think about.
Can you get broadband without a phone plan?
Yes, however, some broadband providers in Ireland may require a phone line to install your broadband connection.
Although most providers don’t require you to take a call plan if you don’t need it, you may still need a landline to get fixed broadband if you live in certain areas. If this is the case, you don’t need to use your home phone for calls or pay extra.
Can you get a call plan with full-fibre broadband?
You don’t have to give up your landline if you want fibre broadband.
Though fibre broadband works without a landline, in most cases, you can still choose a full fibre broadband deal and add-on a call plan.
Whilst most people now use their mobile for calls, many broadband providers allow you to opt-in to a phone service if you need it, and some offer a range of plans to suit your needs. For example:
- Off-peak
- Anytime
- Mobiles
- International calls
What’s the cheapest broadband and phone package?

On top of the one year cost, remember to consider features like broadband speed, off-peak calls and international minutes.
How do you switch to a broadband and phone deal?
Before switching to a new broadband and home phone bundle, review your current plan and decide what features you need.
Here’s the steps to take:
- Review your current broadband contract and make sure you won’t incur any early cancellation charges by switching.
- Test your broadband speed, using our broadband speed test.
- Assess your current call plan if you have one. Think about the features you need, e.g. free landline or mobile calls, international minutes or off-peak calls.
- Use our broadband availability checker to compare the best broadband and home phone plans in your area.
- If you’re happy with your current broadband speed, try to find a cheaper broadband plan with the same speed. If you think you need faster broadband, look for speedier deals at a similar price to what you’re already paying.
- Remember to note the contract length and terms of each plan carefully before switching.
