hello im not sure what to do as i have a final bill for BT its for £100 they are going to disconect me as im in debt to them,
so my question is
has anyone included them in BR and still carried on using them ie carry on as normal or sign up again?
or
if i include them in BR and cant use them what are the chances of getting a landline form another provider with being BR
i may be able to pay the bill at a struggle before my BR which is in 9 days, but i dont know whever because they have gave me the final bill does that mean if i pay them they are still disconect me anyway
i do have the £100 put aside but could really do with using it to get me over xmas

Could you not phone them and ask if you can pay over the next 3 months or something?Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

When you do phone them ask what the final bill means. If they are going to disconnect you anyway and not let you have phone service there is no point paying them.
Why don't you phone talk talk and see if they will take you on.

Lisa could you get a dongle? I know several members on here use them. They can be bought for £40-50 (Christmas pressie?) and you top them up like a mobile.Namaste DeeDee x0

A dongle is a little thingmy that you plug into the computer, looks like a usb memory stick. It talks to satellites like mobile phones do and you get the internet wirelessly that way.
Also, hate to break it to you, if BT find out that you are BR they will close your account and tell you you are only allowed a pre-payment account. They did this to me in summer.. so we opened a new normal account in my husbands name instead.
