Moving & want to avoid engineer charge

I will be moving at the end of the month. I would like to transfer my line to my new place but I want to avoid having to pay £130 for an engineer to come out to connect the line. I know that the line there is still connected so I don't see why I should have to. I also don't want to be tied into another or extend my contract. 
I don't really know how to approach the situation though. Can you help at all?

There is no need to pay the £130 if the line is actually connected.  By that I mean that if you pick up the phone you get a dial tone, and if you dial 17070 you get a recorded message giving you your phone number.
Make sure when you go through the ordering process (either by phone or on-line) that you say that the line is already connected.
As for the minimum contract, it's a standard clause in BT's T&Cs that a home move means a new 12 month minumum contract.  I can't see any way round it.

  • HT1807 I want to avoid all charges while travelling

    I've gone to Settings --> Carrier and turned 'automatic' off, but when I return to the main settings screen, my iPhone has selected a carrier.  It keeps doing this ... there doesn't seem to be a way for it to ignore cellular carriers in the area.  I don't want any charges to my bill while I'm travelling.  How do I get it to stop?  (B.t.w. I have Data Roaming off, Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth off and Personal Hotspot off.)
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Scott

    It would probably best for you if you turned airplane mode on, and that would stop your phone from trying to connect to other carriers and put you in roaming. If you turn airplane mode on while traveling, avoid using your cellular connect because its going to use data while roaming and your phone bill will go high up xD . Use wifi when needed. Hope I helped mate. Cheers

    I have been an Adobe customer since 1991 on an old IICi.  A while ago I purchased Creative suite 4.  I have Adobe Acrobat 4, ver. 9.5.5.  Are there any updates I can apply?  What is involved in updating if I want to avoid the cloud?  I have a satellite connection that charges for bandwidth usage.  I have a 27" iMac, using 10.10.3.

    Hi Kenneth ,
    We are sorry but you would not be able to update from Creative Suite 4 .The reason being there are no updates available for Acrobat version 9 .It is quite an older version so you are unfortunately not eligible for any updates or upgrade .
    The best option for you would be to opt for Acrobat DC .
    You could either for Acrobat DC subscription or perpetual version .Here is the link to download the same .

    You could also opt for Acrobat DC Creative Cloud subscription

  • Unfair engineer charge - charged for engineer atte...

    Hello,
    Wondering if anyone knows how I can get an unfair engineer charge properly looked into - I've had a call back from BT about it but the person I spoke to really didn't seem to have a good understanding of the issue.
    For many months, I experienced frequent (but unpredictable) loss of broadband sync, and reported it to my provider, Plusnet, who could see the connection dropouts from their end, and sent an Openreach engineer (Engineer #1).  He couldn't find the cause of the problem.  
    Plusnet then told me to report the problem directly to BT, which I did, and made it clear that it was a broadband fault.
    BT sent an engineer (Engineer #2) who told me he couldn't properly diagnose the problem.  Although he was a broadband engineer, he didn't have the necessary information to diagnose the problem because it hadn't been entered as an SFI job.  He ran some tests, which completed successfully (above the threshold for a pass), but he said there was room for improvement and replaced an old junction box between the door and the master socket, which improved the test scores (92% to 99% - something like that).  Since the problem was an intermittent broadband problem, we couldn't confirm whether the problem was resolved.  It is this visit that I am being charged for.  
    I monitored the connection over the next week, and it continued to drop.  I reported the fault again to BT and added that I was suspicious that the problem might be weather-relatedr, and they sent another engineer (Engineer #3).  This engineer could not find any problem that could be causing the drop outs.  However, they had once again failed to set this up as an SFI visit, despite me specifically asking them to, so the engineer didn't have the information necessary to diagnose the fault.
    I reported the problem to Plusnet again and asked them to set up the SFI visit via BT Openreach since my efforts were getting nowhere.  They could see the connection dropouts continuing, and set up an SFI visit.  The OR engineer missed the appointment but eventually I got a visit from Engineer #4 who fixed the fault.  He found a problem at the telegraph pole (none of the previous engineers had bothered to look there) where the junction box had been left open and there was water ingress - he also changed the 'blue beans' connections there.  He also redid my internal wiring, as he wanted to take the internal wiring out of the equation in case the problem continued.
    BT have charged me for Engineer #2, even though it didn't fix the problem.  They are saying there is 'no proof' that the problem wasn't fixed, since Engineer #3 couldn't find a problem.  I think this is totally ridiculous - Engineer #3 couldn't find what was causing the problem, which is quite different from there not being a problem.  Further, Engineer #3 was not even on an SFI visit, due to BT logging the job incorrectly, so he didn't have much chance of finding the problem anyway.  The fact that Engineer #4 fixed the problem would surely prove that there WAS a problem, but BT will not acknowledge this visit, since it was an OR engineer sent by Plusnet.  I've got the engineer's report on my Plusnet ticket, and graphs of the connection dropouts, but would BT accept this as 'evidence'?
    I am at my wits' end with this - this problem went on for months, and required time off work for FOUR engineer visits plus a missed appointment.  I can't believe they are trying to charge me 130 pounds for spurious reasons.  In a fair world they would be compensating ME for months of inconvenience.
    Do I need to take this to the Ombudsman to get a fair hearing?
    Thanks for reading.

  • Engineer charge,help

    Hi there,first thing sorry for my English but I'm not a British.
    My problem started in December last year.my Internet speed was poor,it was around 5mb/s,normally it was 11mb/,so I call BT,and I've done few tests they told me to do.but there was no improvement so they send an engineer.when he came he has done few more tests and said there is a problem with hub(original from BT),so he replaced for new one.he said there will be NO CHARGE for that.speed had improved after that,but now I saw there is a charge for February bill of 129 pounds.I found a link to engineer charges
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12439/c/
    it says about the hub
    The fault is with the BT Home Hub and it's not in warranty (Hub remains in warranty if you are in a long-term contract)
                                                               but
    First contract I signed on December 2010 for  18 months ,on April 2011 I changed from option 2 to option 3,so my contract started again and it should finish on December 2012.When my contract was up to end,no one contacted me,and I haven't call them either.So as far as I understand my hub warranty has finished together with my contract?But what happened after?They did not send me any papers,no contract,nothing.I did not sign anything.No one call me.But what happened with my contract,was it extended?For how long?If it was why I didn't received a new hub with new warranty,so then probably could be no problem with my old hub.This hub is 3 years old now.Should they send me a new hub,cause I'm over 3 years with them?With every new contract they are sending a new hub so where was mine?I am with them so long and for around last 2 years pay around 50 pounds each month,so this is how they say thank you to people being with them few years?
    can someone help?
    they will take money from me in couple of days,so maybe there is a chance to avoid this ridiculous charge.
    and one more thing,can I cancel my contract now at any time?I have enough of this.because there is no papers saying when it is due to finish,and I hope there will be no any other faircharge for that?

  • So I need to buy a TV series on my family's account, and we want it just to charge the credit card and not the money from an iTunes Card that's already on the account. Is there any way to do this?

    So I need to buy a TV series on my family's account, and we want it just to charge the credit card and not the money from an iTunes Card that's already on the account. Is there any way to do this?

    I am pretty sure it will always use the credit card unless payment method is set to none.
    That has been my experience anyway.
    They already have the money from the gift card so would rather collect from your credit card.

  • Want to Avoid Loop for all entries with select query !!

    Hi Guru's  !
    This is my following code . I want to avoid loop  to improve the performance of program.
    data: lt_cuhd type HASHED TABLE OF /sapsll/cuhd WITH UNIQUE key guid_cuhd,
          ls_cuhd type /sapsll/cuhd.
    data: lt_comments type STANDARD TABLE OF zss_comments,
          ls_comments type zss_comments.
    data: lv_objkey type string.
    select * from /sapsll/cuhd into table lt_cuhd.
    loop at lt_cuhd  into ls_cuhd.
      CONCATENATE ls_cuhd-corder '%' into lv_objkey. " Example 'Mum%'
      select * from zss_comments into table lt_comments
                where objkey like lv_objkey
                 AND guid_cuhd = ls_cuhd-guid_cuhd
                  AND event_id <> ''.
    endloop.
    I want
    New code should be...using all entries no loop required.
      *select * from zss_comments into table lt_comments
                where objkey like lv_objkey
                 AND guid_cuhd = ls_cuhd-guid_cuhd
                  AND event_id <> ''.*

    why dont you add the object key also to  lt_cuhd and once you fetch the data to lt_cuhd loop it and add the '%'
    when looping use field symbols so that you dont have to use  modify.
    then use for all entries using lt_cuhd
    i don't you can find a better way to add the % mark apart from looping but by this way only one select query will be done for
    zss_comments
    Thanks

    I see that "Trust" a computer on iOS7 is indefinite (learned). How do I undo that on a computer that I want to use for charging but do not want to trust?

  • I want to avoid or reject mapping import from AD to UPA in sharePoint 2010

    I don't want the Title from AD to go to UPA I n Sharepoint 2010
    Like I don't want any updates from AD to UPA regarding the Attribute title in AD In UPA the property is TITLE
    but I have removed mapping I feel their is Hidden mapping between the AD and UPA for the TITLE property.

    Hello,
    As per my R&D, it does not seems to possible to remove standard properties. AD Title property by default map with SPS-jobtitle, which is the standard way. May i know why you want to avoid this?

  • Raw material available in stock. Want to avoid Pur Req for sales ord stock

    Dear Experts,
    After MRP Run, we want to avoid creation of purchase requisitions (procurement) for for project stock/sales order stock for raw materials whoose unrestricted-use stock is available. Later on we will do transfer posting of available stock to project/sales order stock.
    Kindly suggest.

    Shiva,
    I dont think you would have got new PR's created after changing the Individual collective indicator in the material master - MRP4 view of the raw material.
    I would suggest you to run MRP in "3"- Delete and Recreate Mode or Delete the already created PR's and then try running MRP.
