Bereavement

I am disabled and have lived with my Mother in the same house all my life, 50 years.

She passed away a year ago and want to know can I transfer the Account holder to me and also keep my BT Landline Telephone Number.

I have been unable to deal with many problems since her passing.

I do all my telephone calls on BT landline number to my GP, doctors, support workers and council staff and others and they contact me via this BT landline number.

I rarely use mobile phones, only when I have to.

Due to health problems I rarely go out and need this BT landline number.

Is it possible to transfer the account from my Mother to me and also keep my BT landline phone number.

Thank you.

normally account transfer is between spouses but in your circumstances I have asked a forum mod to see if anything they can do to help. they will post here

Thank you.

I mainly want to keep the BT landline number for all my health and social care contacts, and are account numbers tied with BT Landline numbers?
