    Any provider can install you a landline if not already one there. BT OR do the work regardless, but that doesn't mean you have to order it through BT Retail.
    Orange can arrange a home move if you want to stay with them.
    Line provision charge is anything from £40 to £130, but usually negotiable dependng on what package you opt for.

    Just ring Orange and find out what their procedure is.

    And bear in mind that a home move, though usually free, will start you on a new minimum term contract.
