quick question, if I opt for broadband without a phone line, will I still be able to recieve incoming phone calls through the landline phone? I know some people have a set up like this but wanted to be sure. 

 

And I'm referring to the Phone Line not Line Rental.

@MrL92 : No, with EE BB w/out landline you get no voice service at all, not even for emergency services. You get no landline no. able to be called & no dial-tone.

@MrL92  if this is something that is important to you, then porting your number to a VoIP provider and adding a suitable VoIP phone solution would provide a way of doing so.

 

However doing so requires a fair amount of planning and organisation - much will depend on what you are trying to achieve.
