Just ordered new calls package / line rental. Do I...

Hi All,
I've just ordered a new phone package from BT which includes line rental.
The activation date isn't until 28th March which is fine but do i need to cancel my old phone package and line rental with sky?
Regards

Hi d80adc,
I would at least notify your current supplier that your leaving and tell them what date your new service is estimated to be activated.
Cheers

  • Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

    recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ?  I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

    If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

  • Just order new imac... was it smart

    I just ordered a new imac computer with quad core i5. 2.8 Ghz processor 1 gig video card and 8 gig of ram 27 inch screen. Now all the boards and rumors are saying the new thunderbolt on macbooks and I undersand it wont be backwards compatible. Did I do a not so smart thing. I want the new ipad and gonna get the next iphone when it comes out so I will be going all mac. Just having 2nd thoughts on maybe I moved too fast for an imac. But then again will anyone ever keep up with tech? Your thoughts?

    I just went through that decision process a few days ago. I ended up ordering a refurbished 2.93 i7 and 16GB Samsung memory from OWC. I have already received the memory and the iMac is scheduled to be delivered on Monday (Feb 28).
    I was going to wait for the new iMacs and decided not to do so for a couple of reasons:
    1. The first release of any product usually has a high failure rate and the Apple products are no exception. Unless you actually like being on the bleeding edge it is better to wait a while. Most of the pervasive bugs in the current i7 line have been worked out.
    2. There are only a couple of things that may be in the new iMacs that I could use...Sandybridge and Thunderbolt.
    I did an extensive comparison between the current i7 and an i7 Sandybridge and decided that for my use Sandybridge would only give me a slight increase in speed.
    I also think that Thunderbolt has a good chance of succeeding, but like all new I/O 'standards' it will take a while for it to gain traction. Products that work well with it will be few and far between for a while, maybe a year or more.
    Only time will tell if I made the "Right" choice, but in this instance there is no "Wrong" choice.

  • Just ordered new Mini... how do I move my info/programs over

    Good evening.
    I just ordered a new Mini. I already have one of the older models. When I get my new one, how do I move my programs/data to my new mini? Is this a fairly easy process?
    I also have a minimate connected to my current mini. Once I get everything moved over and plug in the mini, will it recognize the minimate and handle everything on it as if nothing had changed (or close to it)?
    Thanks for the help.

    All you need is a FireWire cable to connect the two Macs & the Setup Assistant will walk you through the process. If you don't want to do it during the initial setup of your new Mac mini, you can use the Migration Assistant later to move what you want. You can even do a combination, use the Setup Assistant to move users & settings & move anything else later.

  • Just ordered new Macbook!

    I just ordered a new macbook and I just have a question. I see there are a ton of rsd problems and there are some long waits on repair times. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is something that is fixed with the new Macbooks that are shipping now, or is this still an issue? Thanks for your help!

    Some rumors said that apple silently replacing the heat sink that when it become hot, it expanded and make contact and short the component and caused Macbook to shutdown. Or the heatsink is not that good to absorb the heat and make the MacBook shut down.
    A lot of theory up there in this forum, some might be true and some just plain speculation (which is actually not propriate and allowed in this forum).
    But from what I see, later Macbook production user is less in this forum to report their MacBook RSD (I'm not saying there isn't any), and I believe apple really listen and try to prevent it happen again in later production or previous one by creating newer firmware updater and maybe replacing parts to prevent the rsd occur anymore.
    So Good Luck and enjoy your MacBook, not to worry with a ton of problem you read for there is a lot more happy user that not bother to post their glorious moment with macbook.

  • Just ordered new iMac do I still need a modem/router for Internet access

    Just  converted to apple,ordered a new IMAC but little confused on Internet access.
    does the extreme still need a modem/router,just a little confused after reading all the comments about poor connections etc.
    Old windows soldier sorry if a little vague .

    The AirPort Extreme is a router, but it is not a modem. You still need your existing cable or DSL modem. That device is usually supplied by your ISP and may or may not include the functions of a router.

  • Just Ordered New Laptop Today!

    Yay! I'm so happy!!! But, I was wondering if there seem to be any problems that may cause me to spend more money on the allready $1,350.00 bill I have. I have heard about the heating problems a little, and I i got the 1gb memory. Does this affect it at all? Please tell me any concerns or problems I may have after I get my mac!

    Looking forward to it already, shame it's not due
    here until July 5th!
    You will love it! 4 weeks old for my white MacBook. Averages at least 8 hours/daily use.
    But, you have read the messages, and you know the potential issues. For starters, and you have time, order any of the "shield" products that are mentioned. These fit on the wrist pads. Takes only a week to get to the house. They are pricey, but fit very nice. Don't install the shield that goes on the trackpad. Feels too weird and decreases the pad's sensitivity.
    I'm at the office and honestly am brain-cramping on the exact name. But recent messages have been posted.
    You know that these are heat-producin' little critters. Do some digging on this list about lapdesks and fans. One other advantage about using a lapdesk is that it will also help offer some physical protection. If you are going to use the MacBook on a real desk, as opposed to your legs, get a laptop stand that elevates the rear slightly. That will help clear the heat.
    The heat vent is in the rear, directly under and in front of the LCD panel, at the bottom between the two hinges. This can tend to heat the finger area a bit, so a fan can help.
    This is just the nature and personality of this rather excellent computer. There are certainly ways of dancing around areas that we don't particularly like. After the lapdesk and fans, and the wrist pad, I really just fell in love with this computer.

  • HT4528 I just ordered 2 new iPhones from Verizon.  Can I purchase Apple Care on them?

    I just ordered new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on these since I didn't get them directly from Apple?

    Yes. See the information here, particularly the "Important Notes":
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.

  • Line Rental Increase/Cancellation

    I'm currently on a bundle with BT paying £21 a month for Infinity 2 Broadband & Anytime calls. On top of that I pay the standard £14.60 a month line rental.
    Just received notification that the line rental is going up and I know that gives me the right to cancel which I would like to do.
    However, the £21 Broadband & Calls bundle is staying the same. So can I cancel the whole lot or is it only the line rental I can cancel?

    Hi scrabble123
    I have managed to cancel all of my package, on the basis of the line rental increase.  According to BT's own FAQ's on the main website you have to have a BT line for any of their broadband packages.  As the line rental is increasing and you cannot use your package without BT line then it equates that you cannot actually access what you are paying for!!!  You might well have to get it escalated to a manager and then complaints but I finally got the phone call after about a week saying I could leave without cancellation fees!  It also appears that not many of the people at BT customer service know about the 10 day notification period in which you are allowed to cancel, so you will have to tell them!!!

  • Beware - line rental saver

    Just look at my bill and Ive been charged £2 for caller display becuase I have not made 2 chargeable or 2 inclusive calls.
    When I recontratced for Infinity unlimited I was told this 2 call requiremeant was no longer in the terms.
    Ive just checked the prodi=uct page and legel stuff no mention of having to make calls.
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=29984
    I know it only 2 quid but thats not the point BT should make this much clearer - I wonder how much they received in all these £2 where LSR customers are not aware.
    Lee

    Same thing has happened to me. Robbed of £2.
    When I check recent usage from 25th - 30th may it shows only 1 call made on the 29th. I cannot check any earlier
    dates as it just throws up an error.
    Yet when I check the usage on the new bill it shows 4 calls in that period.
    I have just swapped to paying the line rental saver option so is this another fault with the BT service that only happens on your first month?

  • I want to Cancel my BT Broadband and Calls Package

    i have recenetly moved from sky to BT on the basis that BT was cheaper. But i have recently found out that i wasnt receiving unlimited Broadband and that i went over my usage limited by 60gb, and that i will have to pay £50 ontop of my Package price and Line Rental. i call up and they said that i cannot do anything and also that i went over the broadband limited for February and March. so the only thing that i could of done was to upgrade to unlimited Broadband and evening and weekend calls, which all together comes out at £40.60 including Line rental. Sky is Offering The same package at £19.75. that is half the price i am paying now, i need help in finding out a way to cancel my BT Package as it is costing me a fortune to keep. is there anything i can do?
    P.S The Cancelation Fee is like £250 and my contract will end in June 2013.

    No, you entered into a legal contract so if you cancel, then you will be charged the cancellation fee, its as simple as that.
    You can normally upgrade your broadband without it affecting your calls package.
    See http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36397/c/346,402,5685
    It looks to me to be £25 a month including evening and weekend call, plus line rental.
    You may find that Sky cost does not include line rental, which is usually hidden in the small print.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Just ordered Infinity

    Hi all, a newbie here as Ive just ordered my infinity package, I'll be coming over from sky broadband so hopefully it will seem like trading in a Skoda and getting a Ferrari, I'm just wondering though how much speed I'll lose if I dont connect through ethernet cable, all I will be connecting is one laptop, 2 phones, and an xbox 360, the laptop and xbox will be in the same room as the homehub but are both situated away from it so having them attached by cable will look messy but not impossible, any help is much appreciated....
    P.s The smile on my face this morning as I rang to cancel my order for 50mb V***** broadband as I realised Infinity was now available to me was so big the wife thought I'd won the lottery...

    Purely the fact that I'd waited so long for Infinity, also there's something about Virgin that just doesnt cut it with me, the amount of complaints on their forums far far outweigh the negativity I've seen on here.
    Also in device manager this shows as my wifi adapter so should I presume that my laptop is n enabled,

    Yep...

    For Win 7 but sure it's similar with Vista etc.
    Click on your wireless icon, botom right of your screen.
    At the bottom of the list of nearby wireless stations is.-

    Click on that.
    Another box opens and where it says Access type Internet...

    Click on that name next to connections.
    Another box pops up and about half way down just above signal quality you will see SPEED.
    Typically this will show 54Mbps for wireless g
    Anything above that ie 65/72Mbps is wireless n.
    You can click on the details button in that box and then a further list of information appears.
    Second line from top shows something like.-

  • I just ordered an iPad 4 32gb from Amazon but sold by a store called iPadShop.  In the customer reviews there were several reports of this store selling used and refurbished iPads as new.  How can i verify mine is new and not used when it arrives.?

    Ok, first time here, so forgive me if Im repeating the question.  I just ordered a NEW iPad 4 32gb from Amazon, but is actually being sold by a seller called "iPadShop". Although this seller got a high approval rating of 4.9 there were several reports of customers receiving used and refurbished iPads but sold as new.  Once I receive mine how can I verify it is new.  Also, even the ones that were new were purchased by this seller and then resold, which shortened the life of the 1 year warranty offered by Apple..?

    If you just ordered it, I suggest you cancel your order as soon as possible. If you can't contact Amazon, call your credit card company and cancel payment on that. Why go through worrying about the ipad you are paying for as new? If it's to save money, then that can be defeated if you get a used or refurbished ipad with a less than full one year warranty. You'll be dealing with the ipad shop's return policy which could mean that once you open it, it's yours, unlike when you buy from Apple you have a full 14 days to return it even if you've opened it.
    I looked at Amazon and did not see a price difference. If cost led you to buy from Amazon, what are you saving?
    I suggest you buy it directly from Apple. If cost is an issue, consider buying a refurbished ipad from the Apple online Refurbished store. I would not buy a refurbished anything from anywhere but the Apple online refurb store.
    The ipad 4 32 gb is $499.00 refurbished - a savings of $100.00 vs. a new one. We bought two ipads last year and one as a gift this year and they have been great!
    All ipads sold in the Apple refurb store come with new front and back covers, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty, and in case it matters, come in a new white Apple box like all ipads do. Earphones and charger are also included. You can also get the new Apple Care +, which insures up to three breakages (damaged glass, water damage, etc.) in two years.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charged for Line rental saver package but it's not...

    Okay, so my first experiences with BT haven't been the best I'll be honest. On Friday 8 June I ordered BT Infinity Opt 2 with the Line Rental Saver package and Anytime calls package. All seemed to go through and the payment of £129 went out of my account almost straight away. Then on Saturday 9 June I received a phone call from someone at BT (for the sake of easing confusion, I'll call him Guy A). So, Guy A told me that there had been an issue processing my payment for the line rental save and that I would need to purchase it again once my infinity had been set up, whilst in the process of this though the line cut out. He then tried to call me back around 5 minutes later only to be cut off again. At this point I decided to call BT cust services myself to find out what was going on and spoke to Guy B, he wasn't sure and so put me on hold to go speak with someone, during this time Guy A called me back and told me to hang up on Guy B, so I did. He then carried on explaining that any money taken from my account would be paid back straight away as it hasn't really been taken (whatever that means), he then said goodbye and went. Once I put the phone down I received a voicemail message from Guy B saying that there was nothing actually wrong with my order and that I simply need to call back BT and confirm a few details to get the order submitted. So, I called back and spoke to Guy C. I explained all of the above to guy C and he had a look at my account, he thought that there might have been an issue with my engineer date and so asked if I was happy to change it to the 26 June from the 25 June, which I was. So he did this, but then realised that the issue lies in that I am migrating both phone and broadband from O2 and that I need to have a BT phone line before they can install Infinity for me. He said that he would cancel my Infinity order for me and that I would need to re-order BT Total Broadband online, and instead of choosing Infinity to choose just the standard broadband option 3, and that once this is installed to call up and upgrade to Infinity. I confirmed that he was going to cancel my Infinity Order and then hung up, I went online and ordered BT Total Broadband again, with the line rental saver and anytime call package. I then realised that Guy C hadn't told me how long a refund on the line rental saver from infinity would take, so I called BT cust service again and Spoke to Woman A, she had a look for my original order but couldn't actually find it in the system, so she looked for my new order and couldn't find that either, she advised me that it can take 48hrs for an order to show in her system and to call back on Monday 11 June to check the status' of my cancelled Infinity order and my new BT Total Broadband order. ---> Read next comment.

    So, I called back today only to be told that my Infinity order is still going ahead and that they will install the phone line on the 26 June and Infinity on 27 June instead. I mentioned to the woman I was speaking to that I had already placed another order and she assured me that this would be automatically cancelled when they see that there is a duplication in the system. I then asked about the whole thing with my Line Rental Saver package. She had a look but couldn't see that I had chosen that option at all from the Infinity order (worrying) and that my latest order wasn't even showing in the system. 
    She advised me to call my bank and check to see with them if they have any pending refunds on my account, so I did. And, surprise surprise I don't.
    So, right now I'm £258 down and BT have no record of my ordering the line rental saver... Please can someone have a look into this, or assure me that I will be refunded both amounts. I'm so worried right now that I'm going to be batteling with BT for months on end to get my money back when I really can't afford it. 
    Been with BT for less than 4 day and I'm already starting to regret the decision. 
    Regards,
    Joe
    P.s. Sorry for the super long post, but I needed to get everything down. 

  • Ordering Infinity & existing call packages

    If I upgrade from BT Broadband to BT Infinity via an online order, will my exiting Anytime call package be left in place?
    The reason I ask is that all the information I've seen on BT.com always talks about BT Infinity plus evening/weekend calls.
    Just need to be clear before I start the order process.

    place the order if your cabinet is active you will get a confirmed Install date
    as to reliability the service is very stable I have personally had it since March last year not one disconnection I was quoted 66/20 when installed received 76/20 speed never varies more than +/- 1.5mb at any time hub has restarted once and that was for the firmware update to the HH3a
    As to vision and Youview on the same line I am not sure but i do not think it is possible.
    Maybe some one else could advise you there
    this link should tell you if your cabinet is live and accepting orders http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/ADSLChecker.TelephoneNumberOutput
