We were just a couple of weeks late paying our bill and now they've cut the bloody phone (land line) off!!!! Can't dial out or receive calls! And they want a reconnection fee which we can't afford to pay.
My BF only went with them because they sent some smarmy git around our street promising "cheaper" phone bills if we switched from BT to them (actually they weren't cheaper at all, they were atrocious.)
Any advice? Yeah "Pay the phone bill and recon fee" I know - well we can't at the moment. I want to go back to BT but they won't take us on until we clear the bill with Talk Talk will they? I need a phone up and running as I'm due to give birth very soon and need to be able to get in touch with my family, doctor, hospital etc at short notice and possibily in an emergency!!!

If you get a bill each month then a couple of weeks is almost time for the next bill. If you get a bill each quarter then was the 'couple of weeks' from the bill or the reminder? Either way you had time to pay and didn't.
As for 'going back' to BT can you appreciate their reluctance to take you back? How about if you ran a business and a 'new' customer turned up because they didn't pay the previous business they employed? Would YOU want to risk it?
Sorry. There's no one to blame but yourself. Sell your computer, cancel your broadband and then you'll have enough for your phone bill.

The worst company to go with is HOME CALL.. We thought we had cancelled before the time limit thing was up but hadn't (we were would you believe half hour over the time limit). We then had to pay the BT bill and the HOME CALL one - which was double the BT bill.

You can still go with BT they wont know or care about your talk talk bill as long as you don't owe BT any money, or you can go on either Telewest or NTL depending on what its called in your area, they will accept anybody as long as you pay by direct debit.
Also you could get a Skype account and make phone calls from your P.C.
Hope one of these helps!

Check out TESCO. A couple of months ago when I was checking this out they were the very cheapest way to have a pay as you go phone as long as you didn't want to go roaming in other countries. Order on line or in store.

Well you can still call 911 for two weeks. It is called a warm line and will go to 911 only.

Como tenemos unas llamadas con el teléfono fijo queríamos también utilizarlo el fijo pero a nadie no le gusta estar atado del teléfono y como yo me había comprado mi teléfono de amazon he comprado, también de aquí, un teléfono fijo inalámbrico, me gusta el teléfono, es fácil de utilizar, buena batería y lo puedes utilizar en casa igual que un móvil y además esta de una buena marca a un excelente precio, un buen negocio.
