    If I remember correctly BT can only price their line rental according to their published price list. So they cannot offer individuals special deals unless it is a published deal the terms of which are available for all to see. This does not apply to broadband or BT Vision hence they can offer you a deal on these.

    Its not the case.
    You can get a deal on the line rental if you agree a 12 month renewable contract. (the offer i stated in previous post is still available)

    call 150 and ask to speak to the customer options team

    i did?......and they told me no discount unless ur a broadband customer....no discount to line rental??
  • you have not been told correct info.

    Call customer options team, ask to change to free evening and weekend plan with extra £1.00 discount and also the £2.00 line rental discount.
    Remember this is a 12 month renewable contract.
    You do not need to have BT broadband to get it.
    Best thing to say when you call is " I called before and was offerred this deal and would now like to sign up"
