Phone Line with BT / Sky?

Buying a new build soon, so having a look at Line rentals and installation etc.

Ive seen BT have a £0 a month with free evening and weekend or £5 free all time with an installation for £125. Ive read somewhere on the site that you can get this installation for free, is that right?

However im interested in getting a package with sky. Will they install a phone line? If so, how much? I cant see anything on their website.

Thanks

    Sky can arrange for the installation of phone lines.

    " If you are a new Sky TV customer taking Sky Talk Calls and Sky Talk Line Rental, we can arrange for a new phone line to be installed or an existing phone line to be activated (“New Phone Line”). We will confirm the charge (if any) for your New Phone Line at the time of booking. Sky will not install a New Phone Line where extensive new line construction over and above standard needs is required. "

    Yes, until 31-12-09 at least (ignore the 30-9-09 date on the below notice, it's been extended) IF you agree to an 18 month contract and making at least 10 chargeable or inclusive calls per month via BT.

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
