setting up internet in house with no phone number (yet)

Hello All,
A friend is moving into a flat where there has not been a phone line set up previously. There are phone lines connected but it's a new build I think and doesn't yet have a phone number. How do they get this sorted out?
I was going to recommend PlusNet for broadband and phone - can they just go direct to them and get a number and set up the internet at the same time? And how long will it take to be up and running on average?

As I said, I don't think a phone lne has ever been connected. The sockets are all in place, but nobody has ever set up a phone or got a number.
You said it was a new build - who did your friend buy it off ?
If it's not Openreach the order will fail and your friend will need to ask the landlord/agent or the neighbours who supplies the phone/internet
