Phone transfer

[andrewducker]

I moved from Stirling to Edinburgh five and a half years ago. The phone bills for the old flat are still in my name, as at the time it would have meant about a week of no internet for the people in the flat.

I'd rather it wasn't in my name, but I'm not willing to have them cut off for a week to get it sorted. Anyone had any experience in transferring a phone connection/ADSL from one name to another in recent years?

I had the same problem when I left a flat in Edinburgh as I dropped out of uni. At first nothing was done, but eventually my old housemates found a way of haranguing BT into just changing the name on the account without ceasing service.

There has to be a way to do it, how else do they deal with deaths in married couples where only one half was named on the bill?
