If you're ditching BT when you move and changing to Sky line rental etc., give BT notice of termination now and get onto Sky to arrange for them to install/connect/reconnect the landline at the new house.
That'll save you getting tied to BT (for line rental only) at the new house.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
thanks for the advice. im just hoping new house has bt line so i dont have to pay the expensive fee. landlady said it had so fingers crossed
i was thinking of doing my line rental through sky as its cheaper than bt too0 -
Kirsty,
It's only 14 days notice that you need to give to BT, if your still in contract, ask to move your line via the home movers team, this way you can take your contract with you.
Hope this helps.0 -

Hi, I am new to this site and am not sure I am posting this in the right spot but.....
I am moving and BT wants to charge me £120.00 to move my line. the place I'm moving to had virgin service - not connected now and I do not want them.
Is there away to get connect for at a reasonable cost or are we all being held hostage ?
cheers!0 -

Kirsty, all you need to do is give your 14 days notice then to cancel your line, and there will be no charges other than for the 14 days notice.
You don't need to do it via home movers to do this, but if your taking up another BT line it might make things easier, unless you want to defer getting a new telephone line put in at your new house.0 -
i cancelled it today and its cancelled nxt friday
i rang sky and they offered me a deal with a free phone line put in so ive got to ring back tomrrow and confirm the deal when ive got my dads card0
