Changing providers and line rental

hebron

Hi
I have my home phone and broadband separate. My phone is with BT and broadband O2. If I go on a bundle deal with another provider will my phone line rental be with them or with BT?
If in the future, I wanted to change again what happens? If my line rental was with someone else and not BT how could I change? I thought that you had to have a BT line?

Please help my confusion. Thanks

You can change to another company for line rental too as long as you are not under acontract with BT , if you are you have to clear that first .
Plusnet are BT really and are doing 3 free months might be worth a look for a package deal they also do a no contract deal if you pay for or have your own router.

If your line is LLU'd to the new provider, then switching back may require you to go back to BT under a free'return to donor', and this requires a 12m line rental contract with BT-LLU to LLU transfers are not usually possible.
A BT line is one that runs on the BT network, it does not mean that you have to pay your line rental to BT.
