Why is it 130 pounds to reconnect a phone line?

Answer 1

It's easy to reconnect or get a new line installed. If you only want a BT line, choose the Unlimited Weekend Plan:

Only pay line rental of £10.50 a month1

Get free Weekend calls to UK* landlines

There may be a £124.99 connection charge. We'll let you know if this applies once you've ordered and we've made some checks.

Answer 2

Because if it's bt they are rip off merchants try virgin if it's in your area. I'm looking to get a moblie phone on a contract, and if i find i can't live with out a home phone i'll never go back with bt, just find someone else.

Answer 3

It's not - the £130.00 is for a new provide of a landline. BT will always quote this if they are unsure if a phone line exisits at a house. - Often once they have done the other cheaks needed it drops to £9.99 or even FOC.
