1. Who do I pay line rental to?

   If you take Plusnet Business Phone, you'll pay us for your line rental and calls, instead of your current phone provider. We'll also include broadband charges on your monthly invoice. This keeps everything on one bill.

   Line rental costs from £10.50 a month.

   (Note: if you have your line rental with another provider you'll continue to pay them instead of Plusnet).

2. Can I keep my current phone number?

   Whenever possible we'll try and keep your current phone number. However, in some cases we can't transfer numbers. If you can't keep your number we'll let you know before you switch to us.

3. Do I need an existing landline to signup for a Plusnet package?

   No. If you don't already have a line we can install one for you. Depending on the work required, we may need to book an engineer to install the service for you. We'll confirm this when you signup.

4. When will my service go live?

   We'll tell you an expected activation date when you're ordering a service. This shouldn't take any longer than 2-3 weeks. Exact times depend on where your broadband and phone line are being transferred from, or if we need to install a new phone line.

5. Will I stay online until I'm connected?

   Yes, you'll still be able to do all the things you normally do online whilst we switch your broadband and phone over to Plusnet.
