Do I need to cancel old accounts myself ?

Biz55 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:59:14 GMT

I'm currently with Plusnet for broadband and on BT Home Saver Plan for landline.

So I want to sign up for BT Broadband plus Unlimited Minutes Package as it is obviously cheaper.

If I sign up, will BT automatically cancel my Home Saver Plan AND my Plusnet account, or do I have to cancel those myself ?

If you want to have BT Broadband you use the OTS One Touch Switching system. This means that BT will contact and cancel your Plusnet Broadband. You do not need to cancel it or even inform Plusnet that you are moving.

I suspect that it will not cancel your BT Home Saver Plan and you will need to do that your self because your landline phone is with BT and has nothing to do with Plusnet or the OST.

Thanks.
I would hope that BT would know to cancel their Home Saver Plan but unless someone else here can confirm I will check with BT.

BT do not normally cancel anything unless instructed to do so by the account holder or via the OST for broadband.

By taking out a BT Broadband and Landline package you are starting a new contract with BT.

That does not cancel any call package you are presently on as it is a different package unrelated to broadband.

I would call BT Billing 0330.1234.150 to see what they say.
