Landline Query

[warey4life]

Last year we got rid of our landline. One of the options when I upgraded our broadband meant no landline, not sure why because we haven't got full fibre because we still have a BT master socket which our router is plugged into. I never used it and Mrs only used it to phone her mum a couple of times a week. So we got rid of it which saved £17.99 a month.

My question is, if we wanted our landline back, what would be the chances of getting the same number as we had before?

Also are there better options like getting a digital phone service?

If your number hasn’t been reallocated you could ask your service provider if it’s possible.

Chances are a new line will be digital but again you need to ask the provider.

You can try, but after so long it may not still be available.

What you definitely won't get is your old copper landline connection reactivated, as they are a;; being discontinued A new landline will use VOIP over your broadband.
First step is to ask your broadband provider if they can get the number for you. If they won't help, ask one of the independent VOIP providers if they can help. There are several to choose from, but I have found Andrews & Arnold to be very good.
