Landline Provision

bures — Sat, 16 Apr 2022 05:54:42 GMT

I am currently with PN with a Broadband and phone package

I am going to change the fibre broadband to mobile broadband (2x speed) but I want to retain the landline

Can PN continue to provide this phone and what is the rental cost ?

In a word, @bures - no. PN, like the majority of ISPs these days, only do combined broadband and phone packages. So far as I know, only BT (of the big players, do phone only - or they did last time I had cause to look, maybe 12 months ago.

Thanks for being so quick

That confirms why I can see no mention on the PN website
Only really want if for incoming calls, so BT`s high rental out of the question
I will use my mobile number instead

Probably try and figure out how a VOIP works with a Mobile Router

Moving the number to VoIP is the right answer and VoIP will work over mobile internet much the same as everything else does over fixed line internet. The important consideration is that the mobile internet needs to be always on.

Thanks for the info on VOIP

Presumably I have to join someone like Sipgate
