Hi guys - this is my 1st post and am hoping you can help me.
I'm about to move into a new place and need to have a phone line installed. I wish to have sky tv, talk and broadband as it's proved to be the most reasonable package for me in the past as well as being simple and all in one bill. However as far as I knew, I'd have to have a BT line installed 1st which is £122.50 I can ill afford. I have read that you can get it free but are contracted to BT for 18 months and have to make 10 chargeable calls a month - a commitment I dont really wish to make.
On just visiting the Sky website, I read that it is possible for them to install a landline if you are to use their services (which is what I want do) however I stryggled to find out many details. Does anyone know anything about this please? I.e how much sky phoneline installation costs etc
Am very greatful for any help - thankyou in advance

The BT offer would be of no benefit to you.
Are these of any help?

£25 is a good price but I'd check with Sky.0 -
Thankyou Brian, that is extreemly helpful for me and ur time is much appreciated. I have a friend also in the same situation, luckily I managed to put her off ordering BT line this morning until i'd found out more information. So you've not just helped me, you've helped my friend too. Cheers!
