Bt phone and EE broadband?

Hello, 

I've ordered an EE broadband, but would like to keep my BT landline phone and number. Is this possible? Will the BT phone line work after I install the router?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks.

EE do not do Broadband only,


What are you talking about? Of course they do. On FTTC they do Fibre W/Out Landline (SOGEA). On FTTP you do not have to take voice. It's Landline Only that EE doesn't do but BT does.

Since September last year Openreach have had a stop sell on any changes to phone lines.


It's a stop sell only on new analogue lines. I'm not suggesting OP take any new line but to keep his existing BT line unchanged. That's what I'm doing at the moment whilst having BB from EE w/out any voice component.

It occurs to me that you may mistakenly believe that you can only have 1 analogue landline to a property. That is not the case. Many properties have the BT cable coming in containing 2 lines, of many of which 1 is not used. I have such 2 active lines; 1 for BT landline & 1 carrying EE SOGEA BB.
