Hello,
I recently decided to go back to BT and signed up for their Unlimited Calls & Line Saver Rental package. We were previously with a small company who offered cheaper line rentals and I was told that this transfer would be initiated by BT so we wouldn't need to do anything.
This seems to be correct process and BT came back with a confirmation letter stating date of application and date of transfer. My account on BT also correctly shows my call charges etc.
However, I have just received a bill from the company I was withi before, asking for payment.
i have spoken to both companies and they are blaming each other and I am now believing BT. We have the same number, nobody has come to our house and physically placed a new line. They have checked the property has only one functioning line and it is a BT line not a non BT line.
Is there any way to determine who is telling the truth?
thanks

Who answers when you dial 150?Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

Oh I never knew you could do that! I dialled it and it went through to BT services. However, does BT not rent out their lines to other providers? Or you can still have a BT line with another provider?
Oh my god I am confused...0
