Totally confused on how best to proceed!!!!

Question

Hi I really need some help here.
Here is the story. 
I've moved into my uncles house on a temporary basis until I get my own place next year.  My uncle owns the house and pays line rental and the BT phone line is in his name.  I will be moving out in about a years time into my own flat.
Now I want to get the full BT vision package (TV, calls, BB and line rental) on a 24 month contract.  Because the BT line is in his name and because I'll be moving out in a years time I'm really unsure about how it will all work out.  Obviously my uncle will want a phone line and his original number when I move out, but I will be taking the BT Vision package to my new place. 
I rang the BT vision sales line two nights ago and the guy on the phone said it would be best for me to transfer the BT line into my name and then proceed with buying the package, and then when I move into my own flat, transfer the line back into my uncles name and I will take up a new line in my flat.
But I rang again last night and spoke to a different person who said that my uncle should get the pakage in his name and me just pay him and when I move out the BT vision package could be transferred into my name.  Now I'm not sure about this and he sounded pretty vague when I asked him more about it.  For some reason this doesn't sound right and I don't want to be in a situation in a years time where my uncle is tied to the contract and I'll be forced to take another contract at my new place.  My uncle doesn't even want the tv package so he won't be happy if it can't be transferred to me. 
The Bt line takeover in my name seems the best solution but would it work? 
What would be the best way to proceed with this?
Thanks.

Answer 1

AFAIK Basic Saver line, because of its fixed cost basis wont accomodate the services you require.  In your circumstances [above] you are effectively becoming a new customer and your uncle is "leaving" BT [for a year]. IAFAIK broadband cant be hitched to a Basic Saver line.
Your choice is with evening and weekend calls or anytime option, the £ difference between the two is about £4.99 I think.  [In any event, you would probably not meet the requirements of the Basic Saver line].
I'd just select your package and phone BT. Customer options are on 0800 78 32 326.
Your uncle's a/c will be closed and you will become the a/c holder; that status reverts to him when you move out. He might need to be on hand when you ring to confirm that he wont be the a/c holder. Dont forget to state you want to retain the same phone number for the property.
I wouldnt go into chapter and verse on the detail about this when you ring up; all they need to know is that your uncle is "moving out" and that you are "moving in" and want to take on responsibility for the a/c.  Then in reverse order when you get your own flat.
I'd keep Paddy in the loop by e-mail as well, just in case.
