Cancel phone line but keep email

I'm assuming I can cancel my phone line (that is not handled by PlusNet) and keep my broadband account running to allow me to access the email?

Or is there a cheaper 'email only' account I can have to continue to access the emails?

You can't have an ADSL or FTTC service without paying for the landline. Your best option is to transfer your phone to Plusnet and take out a contract. Ring the Customer Options Team on 0800 013 2632.

If you cease your phone line that will automatically cancel your broadband too.

I don't want ADSL or FTTC contract. I just want to access my email.

I understand that some ISPs allow you to access you email if you move to a new provider. Does PlusNet provide that service?

That used to be possible, however, I don't believe that is the case anymore.

Email only accounts

When your account is cancelled, any additional services you have such as email, web-space, cgi-service, etc. will stop working. If you have any of the following features on your Plusnet account, you should plan to migrate them elsewhere BEFORE migrating your broadband service to another provider.

  • Email
  • Domain name
  • Web hosting
  • cgi hosting

There is no option to switch a closed account, to email only.
