Getting a home phone line from BT?

Question

This will seem like a very simple question for most but I have never had to set up a phone line before and my boyfriend 'hasn't got round to it' since we moved several months ago so I'm taking it into my own hands. Only problem is I don't know where to start, how much it's going to cost etc. We have sockets in our house for a phone line so I presume it just needs reconnecting?? Help please?

Answer 4

Hi,

You can start with www.bt.com or call them for free on 0800 800 150.

They will take you through the steps to get the line working (if a lines been in the house before) or installed (if it's a total new line). cost is £9.99 and £125.00 respectively, and you will pay line rental, depending on the calls package you choose.

As others have said you can look around but BT my be your only choice for the line.

Hope this helps?
