Confused with land line

[Ges62]

Sorry if this is obvious but I have broadband with TalkTalk and have had a BT phone line for forty years.   I pay monthly land line charges  to BT but I never make any calls as I use mobile phone. Do I still need to keep paying BT to keep the number for TalkTalk broadband as no-one else I know still uses their landline?

Thanks

The support team will have a look at the details for you and advise you what's what.

Thanks. I just can't work out if I am paying twice for line rental from BT and TalkTalk?

From what you say you must be on a very old package. I will move this to the Billing section where it can be more appropriately dealt with, although bear in mind that the support team here will not be back online until Monday.

With most customers, they only pay TalkTalk for both, although I have come across your situation once before. So it is rare.

Thanks, but do I have to keep paying BT for the line or can I pay TalkTalk?

Your broadband runs over your landline. Whether you choose to use the landline is up to you. Take away your landline and you lose your broadband.
