Cancelling BT and Signing up in Partners Name?

[chris.tarry85]

Hi All,

With the current round of price rises, I am able to cancel my BT phone and broadband.

I an ideal world I would do this and re-sign up as a new account to benefit from:
- £5 less per month due to current broadband offer
- £125 Sainsbury's voucher
- £130 Quidco

However, I'm not sure this is possible in the same way as with say Sky due to the need to keep the same phone number?

I know it would work if moving to a new provider, but not sure how BT's systems would handle?

Anyone done this before?

Thanks,
Chris

Asking for problems I'd probably say.
Keeping the number may be an issue as technically it's a new customer and why would you want the number the old customer had?

I'd imagine the keeping the same number may also flag you as not a new customer.
