Open order even though I haven't changed anything

[Venomx]

Got an email recently saying that " your new bt service is about to start "  even though I haven't asked or changed anything.

The email says

 Just a quick note to say your broadband will be up and running tomorrow (18-Oct-2021). It could start any time up to 23:59. Your Digital Voice service will then start up to 30 minutes after that. We'll let you know when they're ready.

Also. In MYBT online, it says an open order.. I haven't ordered anything ?!?!

I didn't ask for digital voice, or for anything to be changed whatsoever. 

I've tried phoning up 150 and i'm getting annoyed because all I can do is hear an automated voice. How do I speak to someone at BT ?

Hi, @Venomx Thanks for posting. I'm sorry for any concern caused, have you received notifications that you're being switched over to Digital voice tomorrow?

Thanks

Neil

I managed to get through to a friendly person at customer services who  confirmed it's just due to the digital voice and nothing else.

I just got concerned my contract may have been altered or extended.

Thanks !

@Venomx Thanks for confirming that, I'm going to feed this back as I've seen another post regarding that email which has caused confusion when no changes are being made to broadband. 

Thanks

I have had the same open order from BT, saying that  I will be transferred to Digital Voice on 25 October, which is O.K. but does that mean BT can open any number of orders even though the customer has not asked for any orders. This begs the question that BT could open an order and charge the customer without their approval.

In the e-mail sent it says "We're moving you on to our Digital Voice service. It should start within 48 hours of 25 Oct 2021.", so does this mean I could be without a landline for 2 days, if so will I be charged for those 2 days.
