phone line help

jenny_f

ok, first of all i probably sound really stupid!

i'm moving in to a student house (was in one last year but someone else sorted everything out!).

my landlord has just given me the phone number and told me its BT. Anyways i've rung it and its not connected, just get that dead annoying tone!

I guess therefore last years tenants disconnected/cancelled it.

We only want the BT line for broadband. We don't want a phone, however if we do have to have one it will be for incoming calls only.

Does anyone know the cost of this or how i go about sorting it out?

I only rang the phone as tiscali website said we couldn't get broadband with them and it seemed a bit odd when two streets down you can!

It should be FREE connection if wiring etc still ok.Line rental £11 a month.

Call BT on Freephone 0808 100 7722 they should be able to give you a better idea of costs.

will Bt know if there's alreayd a number there as i'v a feeling the landlord may have just got the wrong one?

BT should know the correct number for the property.
