Made Me An Offer, I Couldn't Refuse !

FWIW.

Had another look at my 'Special Offers, Broadband & DV'. Actually found one I liked. It's a shame it doesn't directly follow the end of the current contract. It's good VFM; so, I'm good-2-go.

FWIW.

Logged-in to check the renewal status. Chugging along, completing 'activities',OK.
Clicked on a tab, and came across this entry.

BT VAULT / BT CLOUD

I never use 'Cloud Backup'. Data's all 'backed-up' to Quadruple External Hard Drives.

So you've got 50GB of storage on a service closed down a fortnight ago?

Back in the day. I loaded stacks of stuff on dial-up BT DIGITAL VAULT. In 2013, BT DIGITAL VAULT CLOSED.
I don't do 'CLOUD'. In the same vein as, I don't do 'SMART METER'.

So apparently, when you renew your contract, BT are offering free cloud storage in a service that they discontinued on 31 Oct 2024?
They really don't know what they're doing, do they?

I've had a look at all the PDFs, I was offered to download, during the online ordering process.
I'm unable to find the new 'contract length' on any of 'em. I guess, the 'contract length' mirrors the current length. Whatever the 'contract process', my products are VFM to me; but, not everybody. I've really cheap X-Fibre, literally, outside my front door; all that is required is, run a masonry drill through the back of the box, and do the install.
It'll be interesting having a look on MYBT when the 'Order is Closed'; to see, what's 'in stone' on MYBT web pages.

Question.

Does the new contract start immediately the order is closed; alternatively does it follow on sequentially from the current contract ?

A new contract starts when it becomes live, which is when it shows as completed in your MyBT.

You can check the start date by logging onto your MyBT then going to "Track your Order" then click on the button "View Order Summary".

In response to you getting BTCloud, that will not happen. BTCloud is closed. This has been confirmed by a moderator on another thread.

See message 349 in this link.

Made Me An Offer, That Failed To Arrive !

The Journey continues . . .

I noticed my Contract Date hadn't moved onto sequentially, the next 24-months. Waited 'til the 14-days Cancellation period had elapsed, for MyBT pages to reflect the order.
Time to Contact BT. In order 1. 150 / 2. Online / 3. eMail Allison Kirkby.
150. I managed to engage with the most helpful woman @ BT, I've ever come across. After drilling down into My Order, it came to light, the Order hadn't completed verbatim. After a constructive interaction, all is good.

Made Me An Offer, That COMPLETED !

FWIW.

The reContract Process is complete. The increase in price; just the difference between
Call Plans, 700-mins & Anytime-mins + VAT. £3.00'ish. Time to HIBERNATE for another 24-months.
