Line rental options
There are two ways to pay your BT line rental – you can pick what suits you best during your order:
- Monthly
- £15.45 a month
or
- One year in advance
-
£129 a year (equivalent to £10.75 a month)
- Pay for 12 months in advance with a one-off non-refundable payment of £129 and save £56.40 a year. Your line rental is then equivalent to £10.75 a month. Just choose 'Line Rental Saver' when you order.
Line Rental Saver £129 for 12 months in advance by debit/credit card – (equivalent to £10.75 a month). One per household. You'll need to pay any additional call charges by Direct Debit and switch to e-billing for this service. Advance payment is non-refundable. Exclusions and conditions apply.
One-off connection charge & engineer visits
Some orders for a BT line will require either a connection or an engineer visit. The charges for these are explained below:
TV, Broadband and Calls new connection: Included for customers who require a new BT line (normally £130).
Broadband and Calls new connection: Included for customers who require a new BT line (normally £130).
BT line only new connection (no broadband or TV): £40 for customers who require a new BT line (normally £130 – see specific terms below).
Engineer visit: This may be required if you have an existing line that needs additional work (i.e. if the wiring/socket is damaged). The charge for an engineer visit is £130.
If your home has had a telephone service from BT in the recent past, the wiring and socket is undamaged and the line still has a dial tone, it's likely that this connection charge/engineer visit will not apply to you.
If there's no suitable BT line available in your property or damage to the existing socket/wiring then an £130 engineer visit may be required.
We'll let you know whether you need to pay a connection charge/engineer visit charge on your order summary before you check out.
All connection charges and engineer visit charges are subject to survey.
Any charge will be added to your first BT bill.
If you have been disconnected for non-payment in the past the standard full £130 connection charge will apply.
£40 Connection Offer. Customers who require a new line will benefit from a £90 discount on the standard line connection charge of £130. Customers who are benefiting from this offer are not eligible for Line Rental Saver and must agree to an 18 month contract (applies to the Unlimited Weekend Plan or the Unlimited Anytime Plan). Minimum call commitment also applies – you must make at least 10 chargeable or inclusive calls per month (30 calls per quarter). You'll need to pay a charge of £5.15 for every month (if you are billed monthly) or £15.45 for every quarter (if you're billed quarterly) in which you don't make these calls, as compensation for not making the minimum number of calls required. These charges are not subject to VAT and will appear in the one-off charges section of your bill.
