Switching From BT

I've had a letter from BT to tell me my phone contract is due to expire end of this month. I'm finding BT to be a bit pricey considering we use very little of the phone and its mainly broadband use.
The BB and Phone are on a combined bill and account, but there's no mention of the BB expiring in the letter or in my online account.
If I were to not continue with BT once its expired, and switch to somewhere else. Would I incur any charges?? or would it be simply, both BB and phone will stop and I'm free to go to whoever I want.

If your broadband is for a longer minimum term than the 'line rental' contract,(say 18 months) then if you sign up with another provider you may incur early termination charges on it.
You dont say what your current telephone package thats ending is....if its the 'free evening and weekend' plan, then unless you tell them otherwise, it will auto renew for another 12 months, so if you dont contact them you will start another 12 month line rental/calls contract, so if you want to leave you need to contact them.
You could tell then you want to go onto the 'free weekend' plan, this doesnt have a tie in just a month notice to quit or go onto the not free but not auto renewing 'evening and weekend plan' for £3/month while you wait for the broadband contract to expire (if it isnt also ending), then move to whoever you want.
I would ring your ISP and check when that contract expires,0 -
Neither service 'stops'-you just go onto a 30 day rolling contract (unless you are on an auto-renewing phone contract).
