    I only left BT on October 22nd, but had a letter last week saying how much they will be refunding me, having charged a month's line rental from 28th.

    I have not changed the phone over yet. My switch date is this week coming.

    BT won't send you a final bill until after your phone line is cancelled, as you could make chargeable calls before leaving.

    I asked BT for a mac code 5 days ago. Got a text to say they are working on it. Jeeze how difficult can it be BT?

    Not difficult at all, but they are allowed 5 working days and that is what they will take, in the hope that the delay will change your mind.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • They should be able to give the MAC number over the phone straight away, I think they're just being difficult.
  • I had to call twice a week apart. First time they said they would email it out, but when I called again it was clear they hadn't done anything, but did give it to me over the phone the second time. Perhaps it's some delaying tactic?
