Installing a land line?

Question

How much should it cost to get a new land line instalation done?

i have just brought a new flat and need the telephone line connecting.

Who will the cheapest be?

Answer 1

BT normally charge £125 to install a new line - unless there's an existing, live line that exists already.  However, they also seem to be running an offer until the end of June where the installation charge is dropped to £29.99 *IF* you take out an 18 month contract with them - though check that you're happy with the conditions first, as it would stop you changing to another phone provider for 18 months. See: http://www.serviceview.bt.com/list/publi...

Some other companies will install a landline for you, such as the Phone Co-op at £118.

You can order a line from BT on 0800 800150, or from Phone Co-op on 0845 458 9000.

If you live in an area with Virgin Media cable service, you may find they work out cheaper, especially if you get a package deal with broadband, TV etc.  Have a look at www.virginmedia.co.uk to get an idea of what services are available in your area.
