I´ll soon move into a flat in the UK which has a dead BT landline. When I requested to have the line reactivated I was asked to comit to an 18 month contract. What are my alternatives?? With the liberalisation of the phone market I may want to have my calls with another operator, but the landline must always be with BT?? So why force me into 18months with them??
I´m a bit out of touch with UK market for phone services so any advice or insight appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

Doesn't matter who supplies your service, you still need a BT line.
And you will have to sign up for at least a year with your service provider so what's the problem wuth BTs 18 months

You can apply to any service provider with availability in your area. Do a web search, most providers have a page to check local availability by postcode. They will all set a minimum contract.

You don't need a BT line if you can access a cable network nearby, but those will want you to go for TV, broadband and anything else they can get out of you ! ! !

Do you have NTL, or virgin media as its now called? If so try them, there is so much competition that they would take you on without having to have 18month contract.
