Phone line connections charges

[Happyfeet24]

Hi,

 

We currently don't have a phone line connected, (it's all there, just needs connecting) never have in our current house as we always used mobiles which is now becoming too expensive, especialy calling numbers that are free for landlines yet a silly rate for mobile callers.

 

I've read that BT charge approx £120 for the connection charge, yet I'm sure in the past I've seen offers from phone companies that offer 'free' connection or the connection charge built into the monthly bill -

 

-Virgin is one such company but they use the fibre optic cables which isn't available in our area. Are there any companies that currently offer free connection or with the charge built into the monthly bill? I've searched the net but they all seem to require a BT connection in place already.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried Plusnet, they seem quite reasonable and use BT lines, they do internet as well.

BT. They've extended their free connection (reconnection) too) until the Autumn, the only commitment is an additional 6 months to the usual 12 minimum term (making 18 months the minimum period of service).
