As Id like to avoid paying my 3 months in advance for quarterly rental to BT and mess about getting refund so when would be the best time to arrange a switch to Plusnet so I am not paying 2 people fore rental and how log to take over line
Would I be losing anything , only thing I can think of is that we have the unlimited alarm call feature but thats not essential but are these extras available I cant see any mention ?
One last question do I keep my phone number ?
I cant seem to find a faq on this anywhere so sorry for questions hoping someone has some experience : )

Can't really answer you about best time to swap.
The only thing I can think of that is extra is caller id @ 99p which I believe is free with bt.
You should be able to keep your number, see http://www.plus.net/support/phone/home_phone/phone_faq.shtml#availability

My regrets since moving to PN
No FREE caller ID - I don't see why in this day and age we are still paying for something that was introduced as an exchange feature in the 80's!
I have been inundated with "sales" calls double glazing/free holidays etc SINCE I transferred (ON THE DAY I transferred I had my FIRST M$ Phone call >:() and PN Say they haven't changed my TPS status but it is only SINCE I transferred I have been getting these crank calls NOT HAPPY PN
My ticket with them is a laugh - WHEN they reply - 3-4 days is normal - they say I should PAY MORE MONEY FOR CALL FEATURES I WILL NEVER/HAVE NEVER USE/D. With BT I had Privacy at Home for FREE 0 basically TPS registration and caller id no need for any other call features at ££££/month.
I am SERIOUSLY thinking about moving my phone to another provider just to get FREE caller ID AGAIN!

99p per month for id display on top of one of the highest line line rentals is bitter pill to swallow.
Do you get increased voip minute when you take a pn phone line?

TPS is your responsibility, not the telecom company. Having said that I believe that there should be more of a warning that you could get delisted from the TPS if you move your phone to another supplier.
Quote 16. Do I need to renew my subscription with the TPS?
If you have registered a residential number or a number belonging to a sole trader or (except in Scotland) partnership, you do not need to renew. However, if you have registered a number on to the Corporate TPS belonging to a Limited company, Plc or other large organisation, you are required to renew annually. In this case TPS will send you an e-mail each year to notify you of this. Failure to renew will result in your number(s) being removed from the CTPS data file. Please be aware that if you change your telephone package, obtained broadband or change telephone line service provider for example, we may receive notice from your current/old line service provider that your line has been made inactive. In this case your number would be removed from the file as the service is only intended for live numbers.

I'm sorry for any issues you've had with us, I will look deeper into those.
With regards to TPS if you are registered and are still receiving calls then I'd advise contacting TPS for advice as they may be able to do something about that for you.

Common sense would say to do this would be towards the end of the 3 month billing period as to avoid unnecessary payments, but you'll need to check with BT regarding notice periods because that may affect this.
Quote Would I be losing anything , only thing I can think of is that we have the unlimited alarm call feature but thats not essential but are these extras available I cant see any mention ?
I'm pretty sure that is possible but I will look into that to make sure. By default call features aren't carried over so you'd need to make sure you request anything like that you need when signing up. You should have options to do so but let us know if not.
Quote One last question do I keep my phone number ?
It's not guaranteed but is usually possible.

No problem, there are staff and customers here to help you and I'm sorry it took us a few days to reply. Hope that helps.

Is it normal for the number to change when changing to a different billing company?

But I would not expect to see a number change when changing to a different supplier still on BT's equipment
