Caller ID blocking?

Ceased phone line in new flat
Hello! First time poster, long time reader. My girlfriend and I have just moved into our new lovely flat. I'm very happy with it, apart from one thing... We moved in a week ago.

Sky potentially lying
We took up an offer of 12 months free line rental when you pay for Broadband from Sky at the end of April. We were previously with Sky for home phone and O2 for Broadband and as both were merging we decided to see what offer o2 could do for us. We received an offer and then went to cancel the Sky which in return they…

Leaving BT's unlimited evening & weekend plan?
My Mum's had the unlimited evening and weekend plan with BT for about 3-4 years, which seems to just auto-renew each year for a new 12 month contract, but doesn't cost extra i.e. they charge her £18.75 but also refund her £3.30 a month (it's paid quarterly). Is this just old ongoing plan that will keep going, but isn't…

Terrible landline transfer service to SKY
I am really annoyed about having no landline services since 28th May despite numerous calls and assurances it would be fixed. SKY, get your telephone transfer service focused on results not excuses. THREE failed fix attempts before escalating the issue and failing to notify us of BT engineer call outs so they close the…

Moving home, staying with BT. Why a credit check?

Tried to do this online, but got so far and was then advised that they'd do a credit check. No problem with that, but don't fancy a search on my file. Anyone know if this is a standard BT thing?…
