On my first phone I registered I used the "My BT" account we've had for ages & I still had to use landline to receive the first pin then mobile for second.
On the second phone after generating the new "My BT" login the procedure was exactly the same.
Were all of you guys who didn't have to use the landline pin the people who were on the trial?
Most likely, as the full security checks were not in place then, even the website did not work. We were just trialling the application.
I cannot imagine BT allowing new users, without first confirming that the landline details are correct.
Forcing people to answer the phone, fulfills this requirement, as its possible that someone could get access to another persons details, and register SmartTalk without the account owner being aware right away.
My two registrations required the use of a landlne

Further to Garry and Susie's point; why not just borrow one from a relative/friend/neighbour. You'll only need it for no more than 5/10 minutes assuming the sign up works ok.
That said, a handset for under a fiver 'just in case' is probably not too bad an idea.

Good idea:)
At least by having a phone and making the minimum amount of calls that BT state on their T&C's, you won't be paying the extra charge for not using the phone - can't remember how much that is, but it would be on your bill.
The calls can be part of the free time offered by BT.
@DS, I'd forgotten that. If the OP doesnt make landline calls it adds to the bill.

That's only if you get a cut price with Line Rental Saver or have certain add-ons (eg Caller Display), isn't it?
