Standard BT rate for a new connection.


which sounds like a lot of money to me.


Tough!


All the wiring is done and there is a phone line 3 rooms. Which seem to
be wired up to a grey box on the outside of the property.

There is no dial tone when a phone is plugged in.

Is there anyway I can activate the line or does this require some
special equipment to do ?


No chance! Just pay up ...
