Just got keys

Just got keys but plan is not to move in until a few months. Not sure what to do about phone line. The previous owners had BT line I think.
How do I go about getting connected or would it be best to wait a few months or would they disconnect? DOn't want to be stung with a reconnection fee :confused:

    Check if you do have a BT line, if so check if it is still connected or not. If the previous occupiers have canncelled then they will try and charge you for reconnection.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Plug a phone in and see if their is a dial tone - check all phone sockets in the house

    If their is a tone dial 150 and see if BT or Virgin Media or some other companies automated message comes up

    If it is BT/BT reseller dial 17070 to find out your number
