Landline number question

[Buce]

Does anyone know how to find the landline number of an address? My mate is trying to set-up broadband at a new address, but can't get past the bit where it asks for the number.

[Beliall]

you're IP  should give you landline with the broadband

[Rincewind]

call a mobile with the landline phone.

The address doesn't currently have broadband connected.

Neither is there an active phone line.

Addresses aren't assigned telephone numbers anymore.

 

Depends on his provider also. If he has BT, they won't give you broadband without a landline. BT obviously would the first port of call.

Well surely this means that you`ve not got to your activation date yet?

Then how can there be a phone number?

Each address had a phone number attached to it, something which SF says is no longer true.

Is he moving his broadband, or setting up a new one? Either way just call the broadband provider and they will sort it out.

 

If it is a new build property it may be that they aren't all connected yet, I had this issue when I moved into my new place, the BT open reach man came round to connect the phone line and they hadn't even set-up the cables yet so it couldn't be done. Ended up  going with a cable provider so didn't need a phone line in the end. It was more expensive than BT or Sky, but no line rental meant it worked out the same for a faster service.
