Hi as title
I'm considering moving to a different b/b supplier as I have cable to the house However i'm not keen on movnig my Phone over to a different supplier and potentially being assigned a new number.
I'm able to get a fibre b/b only deal via a cable supplier - my current PlusNet Unlimited Fibre Extra / phone contract is due to expire later next month so i'm looking at options So do Plusnet do a phone only contract ?.
Thanks

@moansalot No - like all CP's - as you have discovered - BB+phone is now usually the deal. You may be able to transfer your number though, but it will take a bit of perseverance.
Who is offering a BB only package?

Have you thought about porting your phone no. to a VOIP provider?
All fixed line phone services will be going down this route anyway with the phasing out of POTS/PSTN over the next few years

Hi Jab1 - thanks for the prompt reply
Virgin are still doing a Fibre/cable ( not FTTC) b/b package only no phone required - from 50mb d/l through to 350mb d/l - in my area anyway.
To be honest with mobile contracts offering text/calls and data contracts - it's getting tempting to ditch the landline entirely - local Three shop is offering unlimited data / call package for £17 pcm ( not showing on Three web though ) I just dont get a reliable/consistant 4g signal in the house - but tempting
Cheers

I forgot Virgin were doing that, @moansalot , sorry. I'm surprised though - they are a money-grabbing crew.😉
I don't use my landline for outgoing calls either - SMARTY (cheap '3' brand - do a £5.00/month rolling contract for calls, and I only use data on the iPad, where I have three 24month/24GB data SIMS in store.

Thanks - never really considered VOIP - still a bit of a black art to me - better start some research.
Cheers
