I have 150 BT shares I wish to sell quickly and painlessly. Had them for years (no other shares) and want to sell them.
Any ideas where I can do this without having to open an account etc?

Do you get a dividend each year? If so, who sends it to you?
I also have BT shares that have been in the family a number of years, and all comms I get come from Computershare - I think they may need to be your first point of contact.0 -
Thanks googler -I should have said the shares are paper - not electronic.
BT's Registrar is Equiniti who I get all dividends from. Would they possibly offer a one-off sale service for the shares?
All I'm looking for is a one-off transaction - don't plan to buy shares again!

Mine are paper too - but I got the wrong registrar - Computershare handles some other shares, but yes - Equiniti is the one for BT.
I'd give them a call first.0 -

Thanks very much, guys. I have Equiniti's phone number (freefone - yippee!) from the recent dividend paperwok. I'll ring them tomorrow and maybe just do a phone sale!
Thanks again everybody - very much obliged! Ian0
