Landline phone with no broadband prices

I am using a dongle for internet when my contract ends shortly with my provider.
Does anyone know what the charges for keep landline phone only without broadband/internet or where I would get information on prices as it does not appear to come up on google :T

    Dropping it if you don't have broadband. The OP has broadband.

    Yes, but if he's getting rid of the wired broadband and using a dongle, how will BT know he is still using broadband, albeit via his mobile operator?

    Cancel landline or move to another landline provider ??

    Move just let your new provider handle it all .

    Outright cancel with no services over landline just cancel .Suggest you send a written recorded delivery letter if problems cancelling .

    No idea what Resticted Landline means in your post .
