I have been with Tiscali, bb and telephone (inclusing line rental) for some time. I now wish to move to Orange with their bb/telephone package. Got the MAC code from Tiscali no problem. Orange say that I need a BT line to switch. BT will only take me back if I sign a contract with them. Is this right? Can I not move as I wish? Help!

You can move as you wish but it is hardly fair to expect BT to do it for free knowing you would/could move immediately to Orange. There is a strong chance you will be charged the reconnection fee of £124.99 (or if you talk nicely to them try to get their current special deal of £29.99).I have been with Tiscali, bb and telephone (inclusing line rental) for some time.

Your displeasure perhaps should be with Orange as to why they will not (even though they could) get the line changed to their equipment.0 -
