new broadband and home phone needed

i wonder if someone could guide me on this, i am about to move into a house and want to get broadband, have seen some good deals for phone line and broadband combined from suppliers other than bt but one thing i am not sure about is can i get a phone line from another supplier if i dont already have a bt line connected?

    I can only give you the benefit of my own experience.

    i have Sky, (free Broadband, free telephone calls evening and weekends)
    The basic cost of this is £16.50 per month. You can also have your landline rental with them for £10 a month. (cheaper than BT)
    There are often offers on with Sky where they will put you a landline in for free.
    You have to learn to haggle, ask for free landline for a 12 month. Ask for free installation. Ask if there are any special offers. They will give you the earth if youre a new customer
    but keep sounding unsure and let them think they have talked you into it.
    Works every time. Good luck
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • thanks for the reply i just wasnt sure if you could take out line rental with another supplier if you dont already have a bt line connected
