Thread: Landline without a minimum contact term?

Thanks for your reply. It seems that the package you suggest doesn't in itself have a minimum contract, but you are still contracted to pay for the BT line rental (regardless of package) for 12 months. I've double checked with BT and they confirm that when a line is reactivated it is tied to a 12 month minimum contract :-( So what I could do with knowing is, do any other telcos offer BT lines but without the 12 month contract??

Hi caz567, A LINE REACTIVATED BY BT (BT RETAIL) MAY BE SUBJECT TO A 12 MONTH CONTRACT BUT OTHER OPERATORS CAN RESTART BT-NETWORK BASED LINES (although not many do). I'm not sure if you're replying to my post or bryanb but I can confirm that you can get your line restarted with the Phone Co-Op and then only have a three month contract. BT Retail may only offer 12 month contracts, but the Phone Co-Op WILL restart a line for a minimum...

Be very careful with BT. They tied me into a 12 month contract when I moved home and didn't tell me. Needless to say I'm leaving them. They also won't confirm anything in writing to me. Currently switching to Talk Talk who customer service so far is shocking but need the broadband!

Try BT websitee, at home, products an services, compare calling plans. I found no contract quite easily,?2.70 extra

If you only need the line restarting, then post office homephone do it free, with no minimum contract. They just need 15 days notice if you want to quit. Line rental is then ?9.95/month, and you get all evening and weekend phonecalls included free.
