Hi Folks,
Just wondering the situation if I wanted to gift, say my Granny, a BB connection ?
She has her own BT pstn line and I'd like to stick ADSL one, primarily for contacting her family around the world.
Can I pay for it with my own CC that I use for my current plusnet account, without changing the owner of her line to me?
Thanks,
Sam

James is the definitive word on this but I don't believe that it would be a problem. I have set up an account for a referral where the Telephone Line is in one partner's name and the Broadband is paid for by DD to the other partner's account in a different name. In this case, the Broadband account is registered to the same name as the Telephone Line owner but was previously in the other partner's name when with Orange.
Just a caveat; I would never give anybody a recurring Credit Card charge mandate because it is impossible to cancel these enen if you cancel the Credit Card. It is much better to use Direct Debit.

Yup, should be fine. alot of people do this for their family members every xmas
you can signup with her name, address and phone number of course but with your card details. you can use your card for the first payment and then pay the reset using Direct Debit (more secure).

It's not a problem at all.
We don't restrict who pays for the service. Realistically, half the time the BT (or other) account holder isn't the person that pays the broadband bill.
