Switch to TalkTalk without Line Rental?

Basil_Fawlty

Hiya, is it possible to switch to talktalk option 2 for free weekend and evening calls but keep line rental with BT?

I'm trying to do it through the Rpoints site for the points cashback, but can't find any option during the TalkTalk sign up process to deselect line rental.

I won't go for their line rental because it's exactly the same as BT except you can't access other providers and also to report a fault it's only within business hours :rolleyes:

Thanks peeps

No longer possible without taking the line rental.

Even if I set it up and then phone them to cancel the line rental, or I contact BT and say I want to stay with them??

Btw did Martin get a response from TalkTalk about them blocking cheap call providers??

Its my understanding that although they dont actively encourage CPS customers only, they wont turn them away,but they will insist you pay £3.99p a month for Opt 2.(you dont get the free 12 month offer unless you take line rental).

Is there a minimum term for line rental from them or can you just switch away from them within two weeks of joining??

Minimum term of 3 month applies if you take line rental.

Why are you so keen on Talk Talk when you can sign up with Primus for free evening and weekends and stay with BT, without the Talk Talk hassle?

Ah, not for me then because I will only have this line till mid-end June then it's being cancelled. That's less than 3 months away

Because through Rpoints I can get 1000 points for my troubles... that's £10 cashback but not so enticing with the lock-in :rolleyes:
