    Are you on some sort of legacy product where you still pay BT for your line rental and get a separate bill from Sky for the calls you make ?
    If Sky are going to cease your calls with them, it may well be that it would by default make BT your calls carrier, but it couldn't hurt to enquire with BT, as most Sky phone call customers also have Sky line rental, I don't think you can have Sky Talk these days without also taking Sky line rental
    I think on BT site there is a link about bringing your calls back, but BT 'free' calls are weekends not evening and weekends, although there may be a way of getting E&WE's 'free' by taking other products or committing to a longer minimum term

    Thanks I keep my line with BT because I use 18185 and it used to cost zero p per min but now it is half a p. Going back to BT for my calls I will still get the w/e calls free whereas have to pay £4 with sky for evenings, w/e calls etc.

    As above, all BT line rental includes some inclusive (not free) calls component, so effectively you've been paying twice.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
