moving home, existing BT line.

Hi all, and please forgive this post if it's been covered before. I have searched the forum, but can't find a definite answer.
I'm moving to a property which has an existing phone line provided by BT, to the present owners. However, I intend to have Sky installed at the address, and intend to take out the combined TV, phone and broadband package through them. I won't have a telephone number to use when I move in, as the present owners are taking this with them. I'm not with BT, or sky at my current address, so won't be using any "moving home" teams. Can Sky provide you with a new number, or do you have to contact BT,to do this? I don't want to get tied in to a BT contract.
Thanks to all, in advance:D

    Sky can reconnect old and take over existing BT and BT compatible lines ,and provide new BT compatible lines. They should be able to allocate a number.
