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.

    No it won't happen automatically, but I guess you can move to it ?

    And do be aware you will be charged a broadband cessation fee.

    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?

    Just had awful conversation with guy from PlusNet I want to cancel my landline with them have not taken out new contract with them as they are not upfront when speak to them on phone they keep going back on what they have said to confuse me. Do I have to send them email for them to cancel landline or just leave it they told me on phone my landline was restricted do I need them to confirm that it has been cancel. i seldom use landline so not going to affect me whatsoever it been cancel.

    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 .
