Millions of people in receipt of universal credit may be unaware they qualify for a £5 a month BT package that could save them hundreds of pounds a year on phone bills.

The telecoms giant said its low-cost 'Basic' package is part of its universal service commitment and has been created in conjunction with the Department for Work and Pensions.

The package has been designed to help keep phones ringing for the most vulnerable households - and costs £5.16 a month. This comes with a call allowance of £1.50, plus free weekend calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers (lasting up to 60 minutes).

There's also a monthly £10 price cap for numbers starting 01, 02, 03, 07 and 08, which means you'll never pay more than £15.16.
